Do you want to connect with other families with medically complex kids? This is the place to do it! We have different lunches, parties and playdates throughout the year. Check out the 2025 calendar below to see our next event!

Does caring for your child feel lonely or isolating? Do you desire encouragement and connection from someone who understands?

We can help! Let us connect you with someone who gets it! Receive support and encouragement through your phone!

Help us serve meals to families in the hospital and those staying at the Ronald McDonald House. This is one way we can bless families, so that they have one less thing to think about during a hospitalization. It allows us to meet and connect with new families.

You can volunteer to serve with us, individually or as a group.

Join us to Race for Lily Grace and support Upheld Ministries!

This fundraiser was originally designed to help pay for the treatments and therapies for Lily Stigall. It is now our main fundraiser. The money raised through the Race for Lily Grace will be used to minister to parents of medically complex children and fund all of the activities we do to serve them.

Thank you for partnering with us. In 2024, with your help, we were able to deliver 450 Lego sets to Children’s Health (Dallas)!

In 2018, after his baby sister spent the entire holiday season hospitalized for a heart transplant, 9 year old, Micah Peek - the oldest son of one of the Upheld Ministry’s board members - dreamed of how he could encourage other kids like him and his siblings, in similar situations. Things have changed six years later, but our heart remains to come alongside families experiencing hospitalization during December. Watch the video for the full story.
