The Moonlight Fund has several partners in the medical and retail world that are able to contribute some of their services and goods for this amazing program. This allows the Moonlight Fund to distribute a variety of home medication goods, appliances, household goods, and clothing to those who need it the most. The Moonlight Fund also hosts a “Ladies Day” at the Wounded Warriors & Family Assistance Center on Fort Sam to provide some ore support to those in need.
In addition, this fund has been able to furnish several homes for individuals and families who have lost everything due to a fire and for those who need to relocate to a new area in order to be closer to the medical care they need. To those who qualify through the fund, rehabilitation, psychiatric, and medical services are provided pro-bono to help keep some of the costs for these victims as low as possible.
Support Groups for Burn Survivors
The Moonlight Fund understands that the road to recovery for burn survivors can be long and hard. That is why they host a social for burn survivors to join every month. This social is at a wonderful venue that has a full kitchen, two pools, and a pool table available. Attendees can come on their own or bring any family member that they would like. In addition to this monthly social, the Moonlight Fund also hosts dinners, special events, movies, and bowling to help with some of the social aspects for these survivors.
Patient Rehab and Aftercare
There is a lot that goes into the care and rehab for a burn survivor and the costs can often get expensive, whether the victim and their family have insurance or not. The burn survivor will not be able to make it all the way through and regain their mobility without some of these services, but many families are uncertain what to do when the bills do come in.
The Moonlight Fund is able to offer ongoing rehabilitative care for all members, at no cost (partially due to generous funding by various financial institutions, such as Dominion Asset Protection and IHT). Many of those who are served by the fund are not able to use their insurance, either because they do not have insurance or the insurance is not enough to cover it. This fund will also provide physical and occupational rehab therapies at no cost to those they serve.
Other services like burn compression garments, wound care supplies, and counseling are also available through this fund. In many cases, if it is something that the burn survivor and their family needs to improve quality of life, then the Moonlight Fund will work to make it happen.
Donating to the Moonlight Fund for Burn Victims
The Moonlight Fund for burn victims is always looking for donations of money or volunteers to help them reach their mission. Some of the treatments and therapies for burn victims can get quite expensive and providing support, lodging, and food for the caregiver can add up as well. The Retreat is a popular option for many of the victims of burns and their families, but there are funds necessary to make that happen. You can visit their website if you would like to donate and become a part of this amazing group.
