The Helping Hand Fund bridges the gap for those who need DNA testing but lack the financial means. We recognize the transformative power of DNA results, especially in challenging situations.

The Mission of Helping Hand Fund

We established this program after encountering numerous cases where essential DNA testing was out of reach due to limited funds. We saw the need for affordable testing in social cases like child protection and immigration services.

Helping those Most in Need with Discounted Testing

We offer significantly reduced prices on DNA tests for qualifying situations. These include cases where the test is crucial but financially inaccessible or the results demonstrably improve the lives of those involved.

Applying for the Fund

Social organizations and individuals facing financial hardship can apply. Solid applications demonstrate the necessity of the test and the positive impact of the results. Social organization referrals significantly strengthen individual applications.

Eligibility

Applicants who demonstrate clear financial need, and who often receive government support for pensions, housing and unemployment.

The Application Process

• Complete the application accurately and honestly.
• Social organizations can submit applications on behalf of clients.
• Additional documentation may be requested to verify eligibility.

Decisions and Testing

• All applications are reviewed thoroughly.
• The number of discounted tests is limited, and the level of support varies per case.
• Our decisions are final.
• Successful applicants will be contacted through their social organization.

Notes
