Congratulations to our Grant Award Winners!
2023: The Rainbow Connection
Our Special Response Program for Macomb County Wish Families will provide emergent needs in the forms of food, clothing, utilities, housing, transportation and other specified needs. Assistance from our Special Response Program gives our wish families peace of mind so they can focus on what’s most important, their child’s health. The Rainbow Connection Wish Coordinators assess our wish families on a case-by-case basis to ensure that these local families can maintain basic household expenses essential for sustaining a safe and appropriate in-home care environment for medically fragile children. Our staff remains in contact with social workers at the hospitals to report outcomes and to assure that there are no duplications of services. Referrals for additional services are tracked to ensure families do not fall between the cracks for service. Detailed documentation will be kept in each family’s file highlighting areas of support needed, along with referral and/or financial support provided.
