There with Care

There with care serves families with critically ill children by providing basic needs programs that offset financial, economic, and emotional stresses that families experience during a medical crisis. With the help of 900 multi-generational volunteers and dozens of local business partners, there with care serves an average 170-180 families daily. Since 2005, thousands of families have benefitted from there with care's programs. Families are referred by a licensed social worker at one of 15 area hospitals and hospice agencies. The program goals are to give a family more time together, and to mitigate the stresses that can overwhelm a family during a fragile time. There with care supports families from the time of diagnosis until the medical crisis has been stabilized. While carefully listening to families in crisis, the overarching goal is to thoughtfully deliver meaningful care to families when they need it most.
