About The Fund

Through the generous support of a donor, The Tara Kaminski Family Support Fund was created to address special requests by consumers and their families or caregivers.

As the fund is limited in resources, it is not able to accommodate all requests. In most cases, the fund will only consider requests which other sources cannot reimburse. 

The committee will only consider one request per family per year except for urgent or emergency circumstances. 

Families requesting funds for the first time may be given preference, again depending on the circumstances of the request.

What The Fund Will Consider

The fund will consider requests for medical supplies or equipment, such as wheelchairs, car seats, walkers, emergency medication not covered by private or public insurance, and, in some cases, travel to specialists that are outside the immediate area of the patient for medical care that can not be obtained in the patients’ home locale. 

Lastly, the Fund is also set-up to consider special summer camp activities that can not be funded through alternate sources.

How To Apply

Applications for Fund support should be completed by the family member or caregiver. 

If requests include multiple items, please be sure to itemize each description along with the cost for each. Receipts that clearly indicate purchases should also be attached. Reimbursement can only be made with proof of purchase.

Deadlines & Response Time

Applications are due by the 15^th of each month. Applications received after the 15^th will be considered in the following month. Following a committee review, you will receive a written response.
