Adaptability Story - 30/30 ptsAdaptability Story - 30/30 pts
The nonprofit has an opportunity to tell the story of how the organization adapted to tremendous external changes in the last year.
As soon as the pandemic hit, we quickly responded by asking our community to share their fears and concerns about how the novel virus might impact their child. We then consulted with experts in various medical fields and created a dedicated web page to address very specific questions about COVID and epilepsy surgery. This page includes content from our advocacy partners including the Epilepsy Foundation, the Child Neurology Foundation, and DEE-P Connections. With the support of a licensed clinical social worker, Community Check-ins became a place where parents could simply get together and vent about the stressors and limitations of COVID. The Childhood Neurology Foundation hosted an informative webinar that featured our Executive Director Monika Jones and Denise Marshall, Executive Director of the Council of Parent Attorneys and Advocates. They discussed lack of access to services that therapists formerly provided in schools, and how the pandemic impacted access to special education services for children with disabilities. We created two unique programs to support community members overcome by financial stressors from the rapidly changing economy. As the world came to a halt, the Abel Family generously released funds from the Dreams for Danny – Surgical Evaluation Travel Scholarship to seed our COVID19 Emergency Assistance Fund micro-grant. Along with our new Community Care Grant, funded by an award from Global Genes, we helped cover medical costs, address educational access and contributed to providing for the basic needs of many struggling community members. We gave $500 each to 48 families in our pediatric epilepsy surgery community to assist with continuity of education, medical care, and basic needs.
