My Nonprofit Reviews

I found Foundation for Children with Microcephaly through the Polymicrogyria network the day before they had their 2012 Convention, which just so happen to be in my home town. Needless to say it wasn't a hard decision to cancel weekend plans to attend the FCM Convention to be able to meet other parents that have children with the same disability as my daughter. The staff is incredibly amazing, extremely organized and on top of everything. The staff members were impressed with my experiences of 18 yrs with Micro and asked if I would speak at the convention. By doing so they waived my daughters registration fee. They didn't have to do that, but they wanted to from their hearts which made me feel special and cared about, like as if I were a family member. The FCM group is a very loving and understanding organization that offers critical information and support that every parent seeks and/or should know for present and future situations that will arise as their child grows and develops. They had available to all parents an opportunity to speak with all the doctors who specialize in this disability as well as 2 lawyers who spoke about Guardianship and Conservatorship which most parents never think about that far into the future. Having these professionals at the convention saved parents a lot of money and a peace of mind "knowing something". I've been to several different family conventions and I can honestly say none of them can compare to what the FCM GROUP had offered as far as organization, time management, savings to families and most importantly the genuine love, caring and warm welcoming to current and new members. The FCM Group made me feel for the first time in 18 yrs, like I was home with my family, where I belong. With all my heart, I love the FCM Group!!
