BROOKINGS – The Mission of the Month for March at the Mission Coffehouse at First Lutheran Church is The Kelly McGeough Foundation.
The foundation’s mission is to try to ease the pain, lift the burden and give hope to families with children dealing with catastrophic illnesses.
Families request assistance from the Kelly McGeough Foundation for many different reasons.
They receive requests for travel costs associated with the treatment of a child at a specialized hospital, uninsured clinical treatments, food and lodging.
The Kelly McGeough Foundation is unique in that it serves families in the maximum amount of $5,000 per child and catastrophic illnesses or circumstances. It is also unique in the ability of their organization to negotiate with care providers (clinics and hospital) to forgive part of the bill with the Foundation paying the remainder. This has helped many families and has also helped the Kelly Foundation to be wise in their money management.
