What is The Foundation for Medically
Fragile Children?
Founded in 1991, the Foundation
is a 501(C)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to helping
Georgia children with special needs to receive the medical
care they require. Medically fragile children are
medically stable yet require skilled nursing services,
therapies (physical, occupational, speech) an/or special
equipment to enhance or sustain their lives.
They
range in age from birth to 18 years and suffer from
cerebral palsy, muscular dystrophy, cancer, heart and lung
disease, spina bifida and any number of other conditions
that threaten their ability to survive without proper
medical care.
In many cases families have
exhausted all insurance benefits or the child is
uninsurable. The foundation is funded by public, corporate
and private support and does not receive support from
United Way or government contributions. Cash contributions
as well as donations of goods and services are accepted.
