Service Member and Family Support Assistance provides direct financial assistance and relief for immediate financial needs that arise during hospitalization. This assistance is in the form of a check that the grant recipient can put toward the expenses that he or she feels are most pressing to help defray the expenses incurred during hospitalization through rehabilitation. Typically the families use this money to help with travel expenses, food, lodging, and for bills back home such as mortgage payments, car payments, utility bills and food for the rest of the family due to loss of income while at their loved one’s bedside.
This assistance provides financial assistance for the immediate financial needs that arise during hospitalization and recovery from life-threatening illnesses. We have found the financial needs to be as great as those recovering from combat or training accidents.
Modified transportation is vital for those who have lost limbs or who are paralyzed as a result of their injuries, to their success in moving forward. The cost of a modified vehicle can be significant-upwards of $40,000. IMSFF pays the balance after the VA benefit is applied to a handicap vehicle so that the service member does not have the financial burden of car payment.
The majority of our qualified service members who are wheelchair bound or with catastrophic injuries, require assistance with their home post-injury. Handicap modifications are costly. IMSFF will contribute grants toward their home to ease the burden of house payments and financial strain. IMSFF will also grant financial assistance to those who get behind on their housing payments as a direct result of the injury or the cost of recovery and rehabilitation. Our goal is to help our wounded service members enjoy their home without the added financial burden of these extra costs.
We cover the cost of any piece of specialized equipment that will improve the quality of life of our grant recipients with disabilities. These range from visual enhancement devices for the visually impaired, software programs and PDA’s (personal assistance devices) for those with traumatic brain injuries, specialized wheelchairs, and therapeutic mattresses for those with multiple injuries and burns.
Transition Assistance provides for the cost of education, training, computers, software and equipment needed to pursue a new career and/or education opportunities. Our goal is to assist our wounded service members as they transition back into their communities or with a new career path.
Provides musical instruments and/or education, arts and art education, for physical, emotional, and mental therapeutic rehabilitation.
