Due to the state of our present healthcare system, our assistance recipients are faced with exceedingly large medical bills. Often insurance does not cover many of the treatments, medications and additional medical necessities required to keep children and young adults battling life-threatening illnesses alive.

Additionally, due to our current economic climate many families are faced with the choice of either paying for crucial medical treatments for their children or their ongoing living expenses. Ellie’s Army provides the funds necessary to help increase the chances of survival for these children and young adults battling critical illness while relieving the ongoing stress of not being able to afford the basic necessities of living.
