Maine Kids-Kin Emergency Fund

The Maine Kids-Kin Emergency Fund provides immediate assistance
of small amounts of money to grandfamilies who need money to provide
stability for their families.  Each situation must meet specific criteria. 
Maine Kids-Kin staff work with each family to help ensure they are able
to access all the financial assistance available to them.

          The fund has helped with a variety of needs including:

                  Put cars back on the road
                 Kept the electricity on
                  Paid for a babysitter when the grandparent is sick
                 Bought funishings for a new child

Without these funds, the Grandfamilies we serve are at risk.  This immediate assistance is often just enough to provide what the family needs to get through a critical situation.

For more information about the Maine Kids-Kin fund, please download
the Maine Kids-Kin Fund brochure, or contact us with your questions.

This fund relies entirely on private donations from individuals, businesses, and community organizations.  We often receive more requests than we are able to support.  Please make a donation if you feel you are able to support this worthwhile cause.  Simply print and complete our donation form, then mail it back to us with your donation.
