Help Mito Kids is an organization that is determined to spread awareness about mitochondrial disease and to help families impacted by the financial burdens often associated with medical-related expenses.
The financial impact on families dealing with this progressive and often terminal disease is enormous. The special care required to keep children alive and thriving is extremely expensive, often exceeding insurance limits.
Families with affected children seldom have two incomes, since one parent must devote themselves to administering care, (which can include special supplements, therapies, equipment, and nutrition). Because the disease is relatively rare, families are sometimes required to travel great distances to get the care they need. The majority of their travel expenses must be made out-of-pocket.
Mission
Help Mito Kids is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization that provides financial aid to families with children who have mitochondrial disease and also makes contributions to medical research.
