Funds for Families Grant

We know that living with a rare disease can lead to added, unexpected, and astronomical costs for a family and that managing these financial burdens can make an already difficult situation even more challenging. Therefore, as part of our mission to cultivate a supportive and resourceful community, we have created the MMIHS Funds for Families grant giving program. Please read below for more information!

Congratulations to Deyn and Family!

Congratulations to the Larson family for receiving our first ever Funds for Families grant! Brianna submitted a request to purchase her son, Deyn a Gus Gear vest to protect his central line. These vests are very expensive and most insurance companies do not cover the cost. This is just one example of many things the Funds for Families grant can assist with!

 

Congratulations to Jules and Family!

Congratulations to Jules and his family for receiving a Funds for Families grant! Jules' mom, Cherica submitted a request to purchase a Shortie Hickman Line Dry Suit. “Jules loves the water! He does aqua PT and OT every week. We are so grateful for this gift to protect his line while he enjoys the water. One of the few
activities he loves and can do. Thank you to the MMIHS Foundation!” ~ Cherica Williamson

2017

In 2017 the dream of creating a non-profit specific to MMIHS became a reality. We knew with this designation we would be able to go to work to generate resources that could make some real change in the lives of families living with MMIHS.

2018

In 2018 we officially started fundraising as an organization by hosting our very first MMIHS Day!

2022

In 2022 we celebrated a huge milestone in our organization by offering a grant that will provide funds to families in need!
