Eligibility check

Could the Family Support Fund help you?

The fund may help if your child is under 19, gets clinical care or OHIP-covered therapy at Holland Bloorview, and your requests this fund year are under $1,000. Four quick questions. Nothing you choose leaves this page.

1Does the child get clinical care or OHIP-covered therapy at Holland Bloorview?

Fee-for-service programs alone, such as aquatics, dental or Spiral Garden camp, do not count. The 2026-27 sheet also asks for a clinical appointment within the last 2 years.

2Is the child under 19?

Care at Holland Bloorview after 19 does not qualify for the fund.

3How much have you already asked the fund for since April 1, 2026?

What you asked for counts toward the yearly limit, even if less was approved.

4Do you want to buy the equipment or rent it?

Before you buy

Get the invoice first if the fund is to pay the vendor

You can apply with a vendor invoice before you buy, or with a receipt after you pay. If you want the fund to pay the vendor directly, it needs the vendor's invoice first. Apply close to when you need the item, use approved funds within three months, and be sure of the item and vendor: once approved, nothing can change without withdrawing and applying again.

How we help

What do we do for a Family Support Fund request?

Our part is the equipment: the quote or invoice the fund asks for, product details for the letter of support, then delivery and set-up once it approves.

  • We write an invoice before you buy, with the full total, so the fund can pay us directly if you choose.
  • We put one item on one invoice when that helps you use the $1,500 limit for a single piece of equipment.
  • We quote rentals with the total for the whole rental period, as the fund asks.
  • We give you the product details your child's clinician can refer to in the letter of support.
  • We measure at home for ramps and lifts, free, and deliver and set up within the three months you have to use the funds.
