What We Do
Many children with disabilities require help just to live life's simple pleasures. The mission of the Mary Therese Rose Fund is to help these children live the joys of childhood to the fullest despite their limitations - just as Mary did.
The fund assists children from the Valley Hospital in Ridgewood, NJ, filling gaps in insurance coverage including purchasing hearing aids, walkers, wheelchairs, braces, and even funding activities such as therapeutic horseback riding.
We are proud to support these wonderful kids in developing, flourishing, and simply living their childhoods as all children should.
Recreational Programs
The Mary Therese Rose Fund finances an assortment of recreational programs, selected by the families, including:
- • Athletic Training
- • Hometown Sports
- • Gymnastics
- • Summer Camps
We strive to empower our children to experience the joys of childhood to the fullest.
Medical Reimbursement
Often, families with special needs children experience the stress of unreimbursed medical costs, along with career sacrifices which limit household income. With the cooperation of the Valley Hospital and Kireker Center Therapies, the Mary Therese Rose Fund is able to help spare our families these costs, including:
- • Specialists
- • New Medical Equipment
- • Dental Expenses
- • Homecare
- • Specialized Therapies
We strive to say “yes” when insurance companies say “no”.
