Who We Are...

For the Love of Grace is a non-profit organization that is dedicated to helping families with hospitalized children. We provide families in need with financial and emotional assistance. Our goal is to alleviate some of the financial responsibilities that families are struggling with while their children are ill.

We do this by helping families pay medical bills as well as various types of debt incurred by the costs of medical treatment. Rent, phone, electricity, and heat are just a few of the liabilities we can assist with. We also help with the cost of medical equipment and travel expenses related to hospital visits.

For the Love of Grace is a grassroots organization that is the first one of its kind in Colorado. We primarily work with Children's Hospital, but are happy to help as many struggling families as we are able to. We help families that are dealing with any type of serious illness, sickness, or disease. Our services are offered to any family as long as they have an ill child under the age of twenty and meet our requirements. We primarily assist families in the Denver Metro area, but families from any location will be considered.

Gracia's Story...

For the Love of Grace was started in 2009 in memory of Gracia (Gray-sha) Rae Maille. Gracia (or Gracie for short) was born a happy healthy baby. At two and a half months old she was hospitalized due to kidney failure and RSV (a respiratory virus). She was in the hospital for six weeks and during this time she developed numerous other problems, but there was no diagnosis for her illness.

The doctors and nurses determined that she would be stable enough to return home after her seventh week at the hospital, but God had other plans for her. Her mother spent every moment with her during the six weeks at the hospital while her father tried to maintain the household and bills. At only four months old Gracia passed away...

This time in the hospital was a difficult one for the entire family. There was a lack of support for families who are experiencing similar situations and without a specific diagnosis, funding is scarce. This is where the founders experienced the need for support of these families first hand and they would tell Gracia's story by helping other families who've experienced the same difficult loss and economic hardship...
