LCN Travel Grant Program
LCN is honored to support the journeys of heroes born with a laryngeal cleft by helping offset the financial impact. We offer grants of up to $500 to families traveling to access medical treatment for their child’s laryngeal cleft. We are grateful to our generous donors that allow us to support these families.
Check out our Travel Resources section for more help, including free flights for families traveling for medical care.
Special thanks to the employees at Pediatric Home Service and LCN’s 2024 year-end donors for their generous funding of our 2025 Travel Grant Program.
