POHL CHILDRENS SCHOLARSHIP FOUNDATION

Description

The Pohl Children's Foundation is a 501(c)(3) non-profit memorial foundation for Mearan Ruby-Rea Pohl, Bracken Kyle Pohl, and Kegan Michael Pohl. All three children passed away from Spinocerebellar ataxia type 7 (SCA7), a rare genetic disease. Their father, Kyle Pohl, also has SCA7 and is considered terminal. Our foundation currently provides a 12-week family therapy session, provides families the opportunity to attend Mounted Eagles therapeutic equine therapy at no cost, offers a special Christmas event for grieving families each year, sends out a series of six healing kits to children who have endured the loss of a family member, sunshine kits to children with life-threatening disease, gift cards to families to support travel between treatments and doctor visit, and we are currently building pediatric hospice and palliative care services within a four-county area in central Minnesota.
