Our Mission: To make life better for medically complex kids and the people who love them.
Our Motto: Kourage. Strength in the face of grief or pain
We formed our organization to provide and equip caregivers with tools to help navigate the systems with which rely upon to “do” this life. Here we share resources we’ve found educational and helpful in our own journey.
From the beginning we have had the desire to help “fill in the gaps” and pay it forward. We have all sorts of ideas and ways we want to impact others! Please take a few moments to discover what we have planned . We're very excited to make difference!
