If you’re in an urgent medical crisis or unsafe situation, please contact your local emergency services first.

Who This Is For

The Lillian Bijou Foundation exists to support families raising medically complex children. We understand the reality of this life—hospital stays, specialists, equipment, therapy schedules, financial strain, and the constant coordination it takes just to get through a week.

Our model is different: We do not spread thin. We go deep. We select one child and one family and commit long-term.

What Support Can Look Like

Financial Relief

Medical travel costs (flights, fuel, hotels)
Therapy support and equipment gaps
Household relief during intense medical seasons

Coordinated Care Support

Helping connect families to resources, specialists, or support networks
Navigating systems that are overwhelming alone

Advocacy & Long-Term Partnership

Standing with the family through changes in care needs
Helping reduce isolation through consistent support

Important: Submitting an application does not guarantee selection. We carefully review each submission and may request additional information.

Eligibility

Child is medically complex and requires ongoing specialized care
Family demonstrates significant financial burden related to medical needs
Family resides in the United States (or specify your service area if you prefer)
Family is open to an ongoing relationship with the foundation
Family is willing to provide documentation supporting medical and financial need (protected and confidential)

If you’re not sure if you qualify, apply anyway. If we can’t help directly, we’ll do our best to point you toward helpful resources.

How the Process Works

Step 1: Submit your application

Tell us about your child, your current care situation, and what support would make the biggest difference.

Step 2: Review + follow-up

Our board reviews applications. We may reach out to schedule a phone call and request documentation.

Step 3: Selection + support plan

If selected, we’ll develop a support plan with your family and begin building long-term partnership.

Timeline note: Selection windows and announcements will be shared publicly as we grow.

Your Privacy Matters

We handle all applications with care and confidentiality. We will never publicly share your child’s story, name, or medical details without your explicit written permission.
