Website

Forrestspencefund.com is an information resource for families of children who are critically or chronically ill. The site includes links to other organizations that provide information and services to assist families as they struggle to deal with pediatric illness.  The site offers insurance information, counseling connections, community updates and local information that might somehow ease some of the burdens that go along with having a critically ill child.

We also hope users will utilize the site to connect with the people in the Forrest Spence Fund community of families. The knowledge gained through shared experiences is invaluable, and having the empathetic ear of someone who’s been in a similar position provides hope in a difficult time. If you are struggling with pediatric illness in your family and would like support please reach out to the Fund via email, phone or Facebook to find out how we can help.

Finally the site is used as a tool to build resources of time and money to support the initiatives of the Fund. If you have time, talent and/or resources to donate, please contact us to see how you can help.  We welcome your involvement!
