We have several programs in place to help families in need.

Family Counts: It is important to provide families the opportunity to attend activities that help strengthen the family unit, provide stress relief and make memorable moments. The Piggyback Foundation provides funding to families, at a time when finances are limited, to make memorable moments happen.

Education Counts: The emotional stress and isolation felt by children, when attention has been directed to the ill family member, may cause them to fall behind in school. It is important to work with the parents, the school, and the teacher to meet the child's academic needs.

Kids Count: The Piggyback Foundation works with the family to maintain the children's extracurricular activities. In times of financial uncertainty, many families have to set priorities. The difficult decision to discontinue extracurricular activities can be devastating to a child's emotional, physical, and social well being. It is important that the children are able to continue to be involved in these enjoyable activities that help reduce stress.

Faith Counts: If desired, we will support the family in prayer and faith development. The foundation believes that through God all things are possible.
