Why Are We Supporting Your Stress Relief?

We dedicate our work through Eliana’s Light to help reduce the stress that children who have medical complexity and their family members often experience.

Children with medical complexity (CMC) are seriously ill children who have varied, complicated, and unique care needs. Most endure long and unexpected hospitalizations, painful and traumatic procedures, and scary discussions. They can’t participate in many of the activities their peers can, are out of school frequently and for long periods of time, and have to navigate a lot of challenging situations regularly.

Additionally, their caregivers, siblings, and care providers are often stressed, scared, and exhausted.

We, as a community-based organization, reach out to give you support and encouragement during this challenging time. We hope this guide is helpful to you.

More About Us

Eliana’s Light improves the quality of life for families that include children with medical complexity. We provide emotional, financial, and educational support to family members while connecting their caregivers to additional resources. We also regularly organize volunteer programs that build community and connection while raising awareness on these families and whole health care.

Eliana's Light is filling gaps in our nation's support systems that founder Whitney Ortiz experienced when taking care of her daughter, Eliana, who had a heart condition and transplant.

Eliana’s Light's collaborative “C.A.R.E” model works with medical centers, health care providers, housing assistance, and other specialists to give families the integrated and integrative support services they need. We hope to deepen our model within the Washington, DC, Maryland, and Virginia region and also scale it nationally. We invite your support and collaboration in all areas of our mission.
