The 1115 Waiver program provides extra resources to improve health and quality of life for New Yorkers. The Foundling can help eligible children and adults – and their families – get these benefits. Assistance includes:

Food & Nutrition Benefits – free delivered meals, cooking and kitchen supplies, and personal nutrition planning

Transportation Support – travel assistance for eligible appointments

Success Stories

From the hospital room to a happy home

Marina was thrilled to learn she was pregnant for the second time. But when she discovered she was expecting twins, the excitement quickly shifted to anxiety. It had been nearly 13 years since she had her first child, and she worried that having twins would be a completely different experience. With guidance from The Foundling’s Healthy Families Program, Marina refreshed her parenting skills and learned about community resources available to her and the new babies, Amaya and Ayden.
