Nonprofit Overview
Causes: Birth Defects & Genetic Diseases, Health, Philanthropy, Public Foundations, Voluntary Health Associations & Medical Disciplines
Mission: For over 20 years the consistent mission of the fragile kids foundation is to enhance the quality of life and wellbeing of children with support, supplies and prescribed medical equipment not covered by georgia medicaid or private insurance for georgia's medically fragile children living with chronic illnesses, genetic and traumatic disorders, and orthopedic and neuro-muscular challenges.
Programs: Assisted medically fragile children by providing healthcare grants to families as well as equipments for the atlanta alliance program and birthday bash program. Healthcare grants include items such as wheelchair lifts, ramps, home modifications, bath and toileting systems, communicative devices, and specialized car seats, among other items for the disabled.
56 low income families benefited from "project santa claus", whereinvolunteers and civic groups sponsored family christmas gifts with direct donations of gift cards, toys and presents for each member of the family for a medically fragile child who has participated in either the healthcare grants or loaned equipment programs at fragile kids foundation with expenditures of $13,293.
over 267 healthcare grants and requests for loaned equipment processed and reviewed. Additional equipment for the loaned equipment program purchased and existing equipment was maintained and repaired, allowing us to keep the inventory fully stocked. New vendor partners secured to make discounts on equipment purchases. Gently used items were donated to the inventory. Facebook and email communications continued resulting in about 984 total facebook likes by both potential donors and families in need. Services beyond our mission scope, such as respite day care or support groups, were referred to quality nonprofit partners in the community. Several donations specifically to aid low income single mothers and grandmothers who are sole caregivers.
