What we do
The Travis Burkhart Foundation was born out of a place of deep gratitude. After Travis' injury, our world was turned upside down—but in the midst of uncertainty and fear, we were met with overwhelming love, generosity, and support. That kindness carried us through some of our darkest days. This foundation is our way of giving back—of paying that love forward to others who find themselves in similar moments of need. We want every family who crosses our path to feel the same hope, comfort, and compassion that lifted us when we needed it most. You can read our full story here.
We know firsthand the gaps that exist—when insurance, Medicare, or Medicaid fall short—and how quickly the weight of medical bills, travel, food, and basic needs can become overwhelming. That’s why we step in—to help ease the burden in real, tangible ways. Through financial assistance, food and gas cards, gift cards, and medically relevant resources, we’re here to stand in the gap for families facing the unimaginable.
We’ve seen a lot. We’ve endured a lot. And we’ve learned so much along the way. Now, we’re committed to using our experience to walk alongside others—sharing what we’ve gained, lifting burdens where we can, and offering a reminder that no one has to face this journey alone.
