When children in the Eastern Sierra need specialized medical care, families often face long-distance travel and significant costs. Rhiannon's Kids removes these financial barriers, ensuring every child can get the help they need.
This program was founded by the Taylor family to honor the brief but precious life of their daughter, Rhiannon, who was born at Mammoth Hospital with a fatal genetic condition. During her 138 days, her parents traveled constantly between Mammoth and specialists in Reno. They created Rhiannon’s Kids so that the burden for other families could be eased by community support.
Rhiannon’s Kids provides critical relief for families like Allana’s, whose son was diagnosed with Leukemia.
I don’t have to worry about how I’m going to afford a hotel as a single mom. I’ve seen the struggles that other families are going through, and I feel so overly blessed that this program exists to help us.
Gifts directly support local families covering food, travel, and lodging costs they incur when seeking specialized medical care for their children.
