Mental Healthcare Assistance Program

The Children's Fund of America provides education and welfare relief to American children enduring long-term sufferings due to a tragedy of national significance including catastrophic disasters and acts of terrorism. Among its programs are the Twin Towers Orphan Fund, founded to help the children whose parents were brutally murdered during the terrorist attacks on 9/11 and America's Child founded to help the children whose parents sacrificed their lives fighting the War on Terrorism.

The Children's Fund of America helps provide supplemental long-term mental heath care assistance by paying for premiums, co-pays and deductibles for individual and group counseling, where applicable, for children under the age of 18, or to age 22 if continually enrolled in institutions of higher learning.

Who is eligible?
Eligible participants are natural born and legally adopted children of legal US citizens who are financially needy children under the age of 18 or age 22 if enrolled in accredited institutions of higher learning, who have lost one or both parents in (a) the terrorist attacks on 9/11 or (b) patriotic service to their country fighting our nation's war against terrorism.

How is "needy" defined?
In general terms, financial need is based on an individual's ability to pay compared to the cost of the accredited institution. The amount of money available to any child for educational assistance will depend on the size of the Fund, the number of eligible participants, and the financial need of applicants.

What is the application process?
  1. Register the child with The Children's Fund of America by completing the online Child Registry, or telephone us at (661) 633-9076.
  2. Provide The Children's Fund of America with the following verification documents:
    • The child's Social Security Number
    • A copy of the child's birth certificate
    • A copy of the parent's death certificate
    • A marriage license. If not available, please provide a notarized letter of reference from a disinterested party (clergy, school principal, social worker, employer, etc) that proves you are the guardian of the child.
    • A good-faith statement of need.
How can Mental Healthcare Assistance be received?
Each registered and verified child is eligible for mental healthcare assistance. All mental healthcare needs, not excluded, that are not being provided by other insurance coverage, charitable program or governmental aid will be eligible for reimbursement or direct payment to provider on a quarterly basis only. Maximum physical and mental healthcare benefits for any calendar year is $5,000.

Reimbursement or direct payment will only be made for professional medical or mental health services for which adequate documentation is provided. All benefits are provided only on the basis of funds available, and will be terminated each calendar year when total funds available for this purpose have been exhausted. Representatives of registered children may call to ascertain availability of funds prior to incurring expenses. In the event that all funds for this program are exhausted, and additional funds are unlikely to become available, this program may be terminated.

What if I have questions?
Please telephone (661) 633-9076 or email info@ChildrensFundOfAmerica.org.

If you know of any surviving children of our military heroes who have given their lives in patriotic service to their country fighting our nation's war against terrorism, or if you know of a child who lost a parent on September 11, 2001, please register with the Children's Fund of America. This will help us identify and qualify those who are in most need of our help -- now and in the future.
