FAMILY ASSISTANCE FOR OUTSIDE SERVICES
We focus on providing support in the child’s home that is culturally appropriate and suitable for their life-style, unique needs and home environment.
- We pay for transportation for families to bring their children to the hospital, the dentist or the rehabilitation center.
- We accompany families on all of their medical appointments to explain what is happening and help them understand more about their child’s condition.
- We make sure they know how to give medicine appropriately, when they need to return for follow-up, and what to do if their child’s condition changes.
- We advocate for children and families at the local hospital. We maintain close contact with the family when their child is hospitalized and provide appropriate follow-up care at home.
- We provide money to cover the cost of food when a child is hospitalized, as hospitals here cannot provide meals to children or their family members who must stay with them at all times.
- We bring children and families to the government rehab center to get prosthetics, to the audiologist for hearing aids if needed, and to the dentist for much-needed dental care.
- We educate about safety and children’s rights and the importance of education. We refer families to other services that may be able to help with needs we cannot meet.
