Angela’s House “Everyday Wishes Program”
This program utilizes donations and grants to assist families by paying for medical supplies, equipment and other support services that cannot be funded through other means.
Angela’s House works with hundreds of extraordinary children and families who have ordinary (everyday), but critical needs. We conduct fundraising campaigns through a multitude of events, write grants and seek corporate support to assist us in increasing our capacity to provide our families with medical supplies, therapeutic equipment, assistive technology, home modifications, respite, counseling, advocacy, service coordination, crisis assistance, alternative medicine, special camps and other resources for their medically fragile children that cannot be funded by other means. We work with children that unfortunately have essential equipment or supplies denied by their private insurance and/or Medicaid and need an alternative funding source to help their parents to pay for these much needed items. It is a sad reality that many essential items are not covered or have a limit to how much will be covered by a public program. These fundraised dollars are only used when we have exhausted all other means. We receive requests every week from parents that need assistance with getting important resources for their children.
Our Foundation, the “Everyday Wishes Program,” uses our funding resources to help as many families as we can. We use this funding to both assist medically frail children that live at home with their parents as well as the children that live in one of our three specialty homes. These funds are critical as there is no other funding resource to support this type of request. We are appreciative of any assistance you can offer to support medically fragile children. Together we can work to ensure they have access to supplies, equipment and other support services that enable them to have a better quality of life.
When a Angela’s House family needs more we help, a family will speak to their service coordinator, case manager or our intake coordinator to discuss their individual situation.
