Mission For Kids Fighting Aids, Inc. We will provide services other agencies do not give to children in their immediate location, who are infected or affected by HIV/AIDS. We will provide support in maintaining the best quality of life possible in the least restrictive surroundings for as long as possible. Our Goals to include: 1. We will implement a crisis intervention that all clients and their family members can reach someone when the problems of every day life and the illness are too stressful. We will provide a personal but professional solution. 2. Services include helping clients; children in this case, to actively stay at home, in familiar surroundings, to be with their families. It has been proven they survive longer and have a better quality of life in familiar surroundings. 3. We will constantly strive to provide whatever services will be necessary for the well being of the children in our care. Our objectives to include: 1. We will refer or assist them in making physician contact or send a volunteer to the crisis to help alleviate the stress. We will attempt to assign a "buddy system" for each area so our clients have a person to consult. 2. If there is a hospice in their area we will urge them to use that service or help refer them to it. We will bring relief in the form of visits, supplies or food when they are a necessity for surviving comfortably. 3. We aim to educate Middle Tennessee regarding HIV, the transmission and prevention from a pediatric aspect. We will refer all persons over the age of 21 to organizations that provide services to adults only and reserve our resources exclusively for children. We will willingly work with other organizations. We will not discriminate against any race, religion, age or gender. |
