Several Years ago Sweeten Life Systems received a generous grant from The Hatton Foundation to study the needs of children with a delay or disability. Because we believe that families are the key to parenting, we suggested that our year-long research focus on the needs of parents and the entire family system not just the diagnosed child.
During our research we found that almost all the support such families receive comes from government agencies. The staff of those agencies are wonderful, hard working women and men who have real compassion for the children. However, they are under trained and overwhelmed.
We are all Christians and dedicated to offering these families spiritual as well as financial and physical assistance. We found that families want prayer, concern and fellowship but it is hard to find in government agencies. Our new organization equips professionals at agencies how to minister more effectively to hurting parents and kids at home and church.
The new organization is called Patient Home Advantage. Go to the new web page to learn more about it. If you want to support these families or are one of our target families contact us.
