Our Mission
Helping Families In Medical Crisis | Our mission is to provide a wide range of thoughtful and fundamental services to families and children during the critical phase of a medical crisis. We serve families referred by medical agencies, by building a network of services and people who ease the burden of life’s day-to-day obligations with compassion and care.
We provide a family with:
Patient and Family Essentials
Ensures the basic needs of all family members are met by providing clothing, strollers and cribs, activity bags, books, toys and games, and toiletry items as well as professional assistance including family or individual counseling.
Transportation Assistance
Ensures a family can safely and reliably take their child to and from treatments, school, and activities, visit their child at the hospital if inpatient, and maintain their vehicle for travel. Includes gas cards, Uber or Lyft gift cards, bus passes, and costs associated with car payments, insurance, repair and maintenance, tires, and infant car seats.
Housing Stability
Ensures a family’s household is clean and safe by providing cleaning products and other household supplies. Helps alleviate stresses related to home finances, including rent or mortgage, utilities, phone and internet bills, appliance or home repair, and hotel stays.
Food Security
Ensures a family has access to warm, nutritious, and easily prepared meals with grocery deliveries, Easy Meal Care Bags, restaurant gift cards, and Uber Eats gift cards.
Hannah's Story
"Our daughter, Hannah, was born at 29 weeks by emergency c-section. She came out with small, stiff lungs, which meant that we needed to spend a long time in the hospital to help her lungs grow. She needed a lot of oxygen to to live – when the lungs are not functioning well, it taxes your heart. That caused her to have pulmonary hypertension."
