When a North Metro Miracle League family is in crisis we have designated “family clusters” (families with similar challenges) that respond with various forms of support including meals for the family members still at home and meals for the families in the hospital.
The NMML has “fly away kits” that include books, videos, TV sets with built in DVD players and games, a library of audio books for parents, mini refrigerators stocked with healthy snacks, respite care for parents with children in the hospital and that includes staying in the hospital so the parent/parents can go home and rest.
