Application Agreement: I hereby apply for assistance to meet medical and/or non-medical expenses related to my child’s medical care not covered by my private/public insurance or any other agency and that I cannot otherwise pay without undue hardship. The type and amount of assistance provided will be determined by Mitchell Thorp Foundation. I vouch for the truth and accuracy of all information given in this application. I authorize disclosure of information relevant to my child’s medical condition to Mitchell Thorp Foundation. I also authorize disclosure to Mitchell Thorp Foundation of any information relevant to my application as well as any information from insurance or other pertinent agencies. I have been informed that any falsely submitted documentation or information will automatically disqualify this application and eligibility for any further assistance from this organization.

I understand that Mitchell Thorp Foundation Board of Directors determines the amount they will assist for each family by a case-by-case basis.

I release them from any expectation of confidentiality for the undersigned minor children and myself and attest that I am the parent or legal guardian of the children listed.
