CiDrep SickKids Foundation is the nation's only non-profit with a mission focused solely on helping all sick children who have exhausted insurance and other funds for medically necessary care and out-of-pocket cost. We are a charitable funder for a child in need of medical care, and other activities related to the health of sick children in the United States. This is our mission at CiDrep SickKids Foundation.
