How We Help
We work together
hrough our partnership with Children’s Health in Dallas, Texas, The Extra Step Foundation provides direct support to patients and families facing financial hardship.
Our assistance covers a wide range of essential needs, including medical expenses, rent, utilities, food, clothing, transportation, and household supplies. Beyond financial aid, we take a hands-on approach to uplift families during their hospital stay—visiting patients, delivering care packages, and offering games, cards, and other thoughtful gifts to bring comfort and joy to the children.
Our mission goes beyond relief—we strive to make a meaningful, personal impact on each family’s journey, ensuring they feel supported during one of the most challenging times of their lives.

The Lives
We Touched
Driven by the profound financial burden that medical costs place on families, The Extra Step Foundation was founded to provide relief to those facing overwhelming healthcare expenses. Having witnessed firsthand the challenges that come with medical-related financial hardship, we are committed to alleviating the stress and uncertainty that so many families endure.
A study published in The American Journal of Medicine by Harvard researchers revealed that over 60% of bankruptcies in the United States are due to medical expenses, with 78% of those affected having health insurance. These staggering statistics highlight the urgent need for additional financial support, which The Extra Step Foundation strives to provide to families in crisis.
