Due to the lack of a local treatment facility, the families have added stress and cost from driving to DC or Richmond, missed work, and extended periods away from their families. After surveying numerous families, FGP determined that parents felt isolated and alone, were in need of support with day-to-day tasks due to the stress and time away from home and that the financial impact on the family was great. As a result, FGP provides services to lessen the stress on the parents and help give them time with their families. The services provided include financial relief through bill payment which is provided 2 times per year for a maximum of $1000 (all bills paid directly to the biller), monthly meals prepared by volunteers, house cleaning, lawn care, grocery, and gas cards. Additionally, the families have the option for house projects and support from partner organizations and businesses that provide other needed services including therapy, mentoring dog boarding, and house organizing. The organization also provides AAA memberships to assist with travel complications and a Crisis Fund to help when there are unexpected surgeries, hospitalizations, and other unexpected medical emergencies. While these may seem small, the families report a decrease in stress and a feeling of relief knowing the support of FGP is in place. The services are tailored to the needs of each family and allow for changes as their needs change. he organization provided meals prepared by volunteers and house cleanings. Additionally, the organization coordinated the distribution of roughly $12,000 in goods from a restaurant. Gas and gift cards were also purchased and donated for families to relieve stress from traveling to treatment. 914 0 0 HopeLink Program: Fairy Godmother Project recognizes the many losses surrounding a childhood cancer diagnosis. With our new program, HopeLink, we strive to provide support, assistance and hope to families by linking or connecting them with others like them. We offer monthly support groups for remission/survivor families and bereaved families. In addition, we match parents at the beginning of their cancer experience to parents further along in order to provide hope, support, and resources to them from someone who understands. 23262 1678 0 Stargazers Program: The Stargazers program supports families at the end of a child's life and beyond. Once a child is placed in hospice, additional financial and emotional support are provided. FGP works with hospice to better meet the family's needs, provides resources, assists with funeral planning and expenses, assists with writing obituaries, and provides volunteers for funeral receptions. Once a child has passed, parents are eligible for books on grief, an informal support group, an online support group, cards from FGP on important days, and FGP hosted events on important days. FGP also hosts quarterly events to build a sense of community for the bereaved and an annual overnight retreat that allows families to spend time together as a group. These experiences provide opportunities for families to work through their grief and feel acknowledged and not alone. 22348 0 0 Other programs. 22348 0 0 232620 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 12 0 1 7 1 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 X 10 10 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 0 0 1 1 0 X The Organization 5406454282 600 Lafayette Blvd Suite 101 Fredericksburg VA 22401 Andrea McConnell Executive Director 40 0 X X X 68084 0 0 Stephanie Johnson Director - Secretary 1 0 X 0 0 0 Maribel Barker Director 1 0 X 0 0 0 E Carter Fitch Director - Board Chair 1 0 X X 0 0 0 Jennifer Reynolds Director 1 0 X 0 0 0 Jason Cohen Director 1 0 X 0 0 0 Bridget Daw Director 1 0 X 0 0 0 James McCloskey Director 1 0 X 0 0 0 Whitney Sprinkle Director 1 0 X 0 0 0 Sean Lando Director 1 0 X 0 0 0 Daniel Clendenin Director 1 0 X 0 0 0 68084 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 238051 0 0 194953 42264 433004 0 897 0 0 897 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 24810 238051 44118 -19308 0 -19308 0 414593 0 0 -18411 0 0 146350 146350 0 0 0 0 68084 54467 3404 10213 0 0 0 0 26876 11668 8163 7045 0 0 0 0 7339 5870 368 1101 7343 5140 881 1322 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 125 0 125 0 5856 213 4971 672 870 870 0 0 0 0 12600 8190 2520 1890 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 2055 411 1233 411 4262 4262 Misc. 12007 311 3258 8438 Transportation 430 0 430 0 294197 232620 30485 31092 198070 315106 298713 299571 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 10498 9434 2488 1064 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 800 800 500071 616541 9637 5711 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 9637 5711 X 443926 573292 46508 37538 490434 610830 500071 616541 120396 0 0 0 0 0 X 0 0 0 X 216842 258587 324041 399992 433005 1632467 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 216842 258587 324041 399992 433005 1632467 1632467 50 59 62 791 897 1859 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 10249 1293 0 0 11542 1645868 0.99186 0.99080 X Schedule A, Part II, Line 10 None.
