Yes, there are polio support groups and medical foundations that have successfully provided financial aid to cover surgical and medical expenses. For example, the Arthur Marsden Whiting Fund assists people with physical disabilities including polio survivors, offering financial help for essential medical needs. Post-Polio Health International offers grants for orthotics and medical equipment. Charities like Chive Charities provide grants for rare medical conditions, sometimes covering surgery-related costs. In India, the Tata Trusts provide medical grants after socio-economic assessment, and organizations like Bharathan Medical Foundation offer financial support for surgeries and ongoing treatments. These funds usually require proof of diagnosis, income verification, and detailed medical documentation. Connecting with such groups can be a valuable resource for managing surgery costs and related care.
