The Medically Fragile Children’s Foundation of Northern California has been
providing life enhancing experiences for children with complex medical needs since
2010 yet our presence in the community is little known. To increase community
awareness we are reaching out to you.
We would like others to experience of joy of watching a medically fragile child
experience activities that typically developing children experience daily; going to the
park or sporting event, going to the shopping mall, going to camp, etc. Providing
these opportunities requires several skilled care-givers as well as special transport.
The individuals who have helped us provide these experiences in the past have
expressed great satisfaction at helping make it happen.
We are inviting you to participate as a member of the foundation. If you are unable
to do so perhaps you know people who might have an interest in serving. If you can
answer yes to either of these, please give me a call or send me an e-mail so we can
talk about the opportunity to make a difference in the life of a medically fragile
child.
Please contact Rod Galindo at 408.916.4900 ∙ email: info@mfcfnc.org

Mission Statement
The mission of The Medically Fragile Children’s Foundation of Northern California (MFCFNC) is to serve children (up to 21 years of age), who require medical technology and intervention to sustain life, and connect them with the innate experiences associated with growing up, just as their peers without such limitations experience. The MFCFNC supports children who reside in/near Santa Clara County and are consumers of Medi-Cal’s "pediatric subacute care"/ "pediatric day health center" programs or similar services.
Description
We aim to uphold our mission through a five-point BUILD philosophy:
Boosting community awareness and support of each child’s unique spirit and needs regardless of disability, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, and/or religion
Utilizing funds and resources to support childhood experiences and life-enhancing equipment that are not normally expected to be covered by a hospital /center and being financially accountable by maintaining transparency to all stakeholders
Improving quality of life by making typical childhood experiences more accessible: engaging in hobbies, celebrating life events (milestone birthdays, graduations), and recreating (going to concerts/movies, sporting events, the park, the mall, etc)
Limiting barriers that impede a child’s ability to live as normal as a life possible
Decreasing financial burden associated with a child’s disability and illness on the family.
