Family Hope
The mission of the World Craniofacial Foundation is to give help, hope and healing to people with craniofacial abnormalities and their families. In certain cases, we award financial aid grants to families to assist with secondary costs of craniofacial care. Our grants may be used toward food, travel and lodging expenses associated with doctor appointments, surgeries and rehab. We provide help for the child receiving treatment and one parent or legal guardian.
