MC Gives

Every child deserves the chance to heal, grow, and thrive — even in the face of life-threatening illness.

Through H.O.M.E. — Healing, Outreach, Mobility, and Empowerment — Partnership for Children wraps families in care and compassion:

1. Healing – Your gift ensures children never miss lifesaving appointments, and parents have the support they need to face tomorrow with strength.
2. Outreach – With your help, groceries, diapers, and essentials arrive at doorsteps, easing the crushing weight of daily survival.
3. Mobility – You provide gas cards and reliable rides so distance is never a barrier between a child and critical care.
4. Empowerment – You give families more than resources. You give them peace of mind, dignity, and the ability to focus on what matters most: their child’s well-being.

When you give, you are not just funding services — you are delivering hope. You are saying to a frightened family: You are not alone.

Mission Statement

Partnership for Children believes every child living with a life-threatening condition deserves access to medical care and the emotional support needed to live life as fully as possible.
Our mission is to increase access to medical care for seriously ill children and provide essential support to their families.

Testimonial

“Partnership for Children gives us more than help — they give us hope. They help us breathe again by easing our daily stress. They bring us groceries, diapers, and even things we didn’t know we needed. They make sure we never miss a medical appointment. They remind us we aren’t alone, and that we can get through this. We feel seen, supported, and safe.”
— Mom to Zoe, Salinas
