The "Caring Committee" was formed in 2014 to assist our members with hospitalizations.  If you know of a family experiencing a hospital stay, please feel free to contact us!  We can offer limited financial support, and can rally around the family if they'd like -- sharing their fundraisers, referrals to other sources of support.

Please keep in mind, if the hospital stay is a certain distance from your home, Katie Beckett may be able to reimburse you for hospital stays AND mileage.  Contact your Katie Beckett support person for further information.


Caring Committee

• If a child with Down syndrome who is a member of our group gets ill or has an extended hospital stay, we will gift the family with up to $100 in gift cards for gas / food.
• Gift cards to be either for food, gas, or a generic Visa 
• We have an additional amount usable for sending balloons or gift (blanket?) to the child (up to $25)
• Minor surgeries (ear tubes, tonsils) will not be included

Interested in volunteering to be on the caring committee, please fill out the form HERE, we are always in need of parent volunteers.
