Pricing is not publicly disclosed, with services likely covered through government programs, insurance, Medicaid, or sliding-scale arrangements. The go-to-market motion is direct-to-consumer, with families accessing services through the website, direct contact, or community referrals. The organization is supported by a 64-person staff and runs fundraising events, donor-advised fund programs, and digital marketing campaigns across website, email, and major social platforms.
