Variety believes that no child should miss out on simple pleasures of childhood like riding a bike simply because the adaptive equipment needed is not covered by insurance and too expensive for the family. 299108 230505 Varietys Health Care Grants provide safety, help and hope to children who are victims of abuse, neglect and homelessness. Variety sends hundreds of kids who are battling life-threatening illnesses to camp to give them a break from the pain and chaos of treatments.
