Hard At Work
As word hit that The Hemispherectomy Foundation was being formed, people from all over the United States began contacting us to inquire how they might contribute to such an organization. As there had been no previously established charity to deal specifically with the hemispherectomy surgery and it's after effects, many people were excited to jump on board. With so many eager to work, our reach has expanded to help many more families who have been devastated by the illnesses which necessitate a hemispherectomy surgery.
We are constantly gathering names of children who are having this surgery, and those recovering. We send care packages and cards of encouragement to those who are in the hospital and recovering. As well, we are keeping track of others who are leading very productive and busy lives! Take a look at our Winners Circle page and see 3 young adults who are attending college and accomplishing phenomenal things!
Currently, we are in the process of creating media to send every pediatric neurologist and neurosurgeon in the United States and Canada, to educate them on The Hemispherectomy Foundation , our mission and goals. With referrals of their patients, we will serve the hemi community more fully.
Many already working within The Hemispherectomy Foundation are having fundraisers and seeking corporate donations which will go to assist those families needing additional medical equipment, extended therapy and other needs their insurance is no longer covering.
