Another source of help: MDFF

Don't know if this has been posted before...

A friend told me about another possible source of funding for our kids.

The Muscular Dystrophy Family Foundation, Inc., helps pay for things like

braces, wheelchairs, lifts for vans, hospital beds, respiratory

equipment, and modifications to bathrooms. It also assists with funeral

costs. Sounds like services are not limited to this list, so if you have

some other need, it's probably worth asking. Assistance is on a sliding

scale depending on income and must come after other avenues have been

tried--like insurance, Medicaid, and MDA.

BTW, MDFF is not associated with MDA. It's my understanding that it was

established to assist families with some of the needs that MDA doesn't

address.

" Mitochondrial myopathy " is one of the conditions which qualifies kids

for help from MDFF. For more info, go to www.mdff.org or call Beth

at .

Kaitlin (16), cp, asthma, a few autonomic symptoms
