Better2gether is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization based in Richmond, VA, dedicated to supporting families of children with rare or complex medical conditions. The organization provides access to resources, information, and recreational programming. To be eligible for support, the child must have multiple significant chronic health issues and functional limitations, see five or more specialists, or be technology-dependent. Additionally, the child must reside in one of the following Virginia counties: Charles City, Prince George, Dinwiddie, Amelia, Powhatan, Goochland, Cumberland, Henrico, Chesterfield, Richmond, or New Kent. Families living in Virginia counties outside our geographic service area can access the Family Resource Center directly through Children’s Hospital of Richmond (CHoR) if their child is a patient of CHoR. Our Family Navigator will reach out to you soon, but in the meantime, please visit our Resource page for a list of services, information, and financial support options. Please visit https://better2getherrva.org/resources for more information.
