Financial Aid
Helping families relieve the stress of costs associated with their related medical bills
Living with photosensitivity doesn’t just bring medical challenges, it also creates financial strain that can overwhelm families. Frequent treatments, protective gear, and specialized care quickly add up, while work opportunities are often limited due to the condition’s restrictions. Many families find themselves facing impossible choices between paying medical bills or covering basic living expenses. Shadow Jumpers steps in with direct Financial Aid Assistance to help ease those burdens and keep families afloat.
The Smiths
Our family has had a constant battle with CEP since our daughter was born in 2017. Between our three CEP children we are in Peak’s Hospital weekly for mandatory blood and porphyria checks. We also must routinely travel to San Francisco for appointments with specialists for our kids. As you can imagine, with this level of commitment for our children, we struggled to keep up with a constant work schedule and steady source of income. we had reached the point of no return after becoming financially strained and desperately needed help. With mounting bills, we questioned if we could make it another month a float.
That’s when we learned about Shadow Jumpers. They covered the cost of our outstanding bills. They also covered the cost of our rent, car registrations, insurance, and phones. In total, they were able to help us cover over $5,500 in bills and late fees. As the holidays approached, we were afraid that we wouldn’t be able to provide a proper Christmas for our kids. Shadow Jumpers wouldn’t let that happen. They sent us dozens of toys for our children. From Disney play castles to electronics and everything in between, we were so thankful they could wake up and unwrapped everything for a true big Christmas morning. Shadow Jumpers was able to give us a much-needed reset on our bills and provide a holiday spark to our family that was long overdue.
