About 1 in 345 children in the U.S. have cerebral palsy. When insurance won't cover therapies, equipment, and unexpected expenses, SupportNow helps families bring their community together to help.
Free to start. SupportNow never charges your family a platform fee.
A SupportNow fundraiser lives inside a Support Page: money, meals, and helping hands in one place. Supporters give what they can, sign up for what you need, and follow your child's progress without you retelling the story.
Every gift goes to your family
Help getting to therapy and appointments
Dinner covered on the hardest weeks
Share the wins once, in one place
SupportNow helps you organize support for therapies, equipment, procedures, and the everyday moments in between.
Wheelchairs, walkers, standers, and orthotics. A power chair runs around $7,000; orthotics get replaced every 6 to 12 months.
PT, OT, speech, and intensives once your visit limit runs out. Cash sessions run $75 to a few hundred dollars each.
AAC and eye-gaze devices give a nonverbal child a way to be heard. A dedicated device can run around $20,000, and insurance often fights it.
SDR surgery ($20,000 to $40,000), a Baclofen pump (about $28,500 the first year), and Botox for spasticity, plus travel to specialists.
Ramps, ceiling lifts, widened doorways, and an accessible bathroom, which commonly runs $9,000 to $40,000.
A wheelchair-accessible van gets the family to therapy and school. A conversion runs $10,000 to $25,000; a new converted van, $60,000 to $100,000.
Plus the everyday things: feeding supplies, adaptive seating, and the bikes and sensory gear that let your child just be a kid. The money goes to your family, so you decide what it covers, this year and the next.
Real fundraisers, running right now. Every one started the same way yours would.
Cerebral palsy can feel too big for people to know where to start. Your fundraiser gives their care somewhere to go, this year and for years to come.
Starting one can feel like admitting you can't do it all alone. It is the opposite. It:
It starts with one link and your child's story.
No fundraising experience needed, and you don't have to be the parent to run it.
About 10 minutes. Share what your child is working toward and the equipment or therapy that would help. We guide you with prompts.
Share one link with family, friends, church, coworkers, and your therapy community. They have been waiting for something real to do.
Funds go to your family as donations come in, no waiting to hit a goal. The power chair, the therapy block, the next orthotics. You decide.
Cerebral palsy is a marathon, not a one-time bill. Supporters can choose to give monthly, so the help arrives on the same rhythm as the need.
There is real help out there, and most of it is slower and smaller than the need. Here is the honest picture.
SupportNow is the Official Family Support Platform. We help families rally support through life's hardest, longest seasons, and raising a child with cerebral palsy is exactly that. Starting is free, and the money belongs to your family.
