Meet Jackson ~ Extended Hospital Stay Grant Recipient
Jackson's family came to us shortly after a second extended hospital stay in great need of assistance. He is one of 3 children in the family and the only one with cystic fibrosis. This year has been a particularly rough year for the family as they recently lost a parent after a long battle with cancer. Jackson's mother works full time but was in her new job less than a year when Jackson suffered his second hospital stay therefore she was not eligible for FMLA/paid family leave.The social worker at their hospital reached out to Claire's Place Foundation in the hopes of helping this family keep their home, which was in threat of foreclosure.We were thrilled and grateful to be able to provide assistance so that the family could rest at ease and take a minute to get caught up on their mortgage and other bills that were also piling up. This was only possible due to recent help from our supporters in the form of a "Wedding Shower Donation". Thank you to Kathie and Paul D
avid who worked so diligently fundraising for this important program."Claire’s Place Foundation has helped our family by not being put out on the street. They saved us from the heartache, stress, constant worry and feelings of worthlessness. We will be able to remain as a family unit in our home that was facing foreclosure proceedings. This is something that we will be eternally grateful for, for the rest of our lives." ~ Jackson's MotherEven with all the hard work it takes for this family to stay afloat, the social worker let me know that Jackson's mother is the first person to put her hand out to newly diagnosed families at their cystic fibrosis center and has volunteered many times with projects to improve the overall care of the kids in their community.Our hat is off to you, many blessings to you and your family ~*If you are interested in hosting a fundraiser for Claire's Place Foundation through our Crowdrise site, please let us know by sending an email to Melissa@clairesplacefoundation.org
