The Story of The Hummingbird

Our Program cares for children with serious health problems that can’t be cured. Our team offers palliative and supportive care that fits each family’s needs.

The hummingbird is one of life’s tiny miracles, just like our patients.

A hummingbird’s heart beats faster than any other bird. Its wings fly in the shape of a figure eight, the symbol of infinity. Hummingbirds are magical, mystical, and make our world a more beautiful place.

In Native American traditions, the hummingbird represents a messenger between worlds. They keep the balance between nature and spirit. This creature opens the heart and teaches others to appreciate the magic of life. We learn the same lessons from the patients we care for.

DHS has a vision for all children to live meaningful lives with families in the community.  DHS strives to provide a comprehensive approach to serving children, youth, and young adults – birth to 21 years of age – through programs that focus on early intervention, healthy development, strong relationships, family stability, community integration, and safety.

Who are Children with Medically Complex Conditions?

Some children require additional supports and services to successfully live in the community with their family.  DHS oversees multiple systems of care that collaboratively plans for children across the life span by strengthening services to families, reducing risk, and preventing facility admissions.  Children with Medically Complex Conditions are often included among children who require additional supports and services.  DHS generally defines children with medically complex conditions as individuals age 0 through 21 with a chronic health condition that affects three or more organ systems and requires medically necessary skilled nursing intervention to execute medical regimens to use technology for respiration, nutrition, medication administration or other bodily functions.

Spectrum Sailing provides maritime education, programming, and outreach for autistic individuals. Our free camps provide opportunities for skill development, social interaction, and confidence building. Sailing is our platform to positively impact the physical, mental, and social health of our participants.

Spectrum Sailing was born out of necessity. Our founder, Scott Herman, was looking for a sailing camp his autistic son could attend. Sadly no one would take him, so he started his own camp.  Founded in Charleston, they built the only Autism Sailing Camp in South Carolina. The local program grew and proved successful. It was then that Scott decided kids across the country needed this opportunity.

Through the generosity of both the Autism and Sailing communities we can offer camps in multiple locations at no cost to the sailors. These kids just need a chance and Spectrum Sailing is that chance.

Can't thank the staff enough. Greyson went from not wanting to sail to not only wanting a sailboat but he went out without me this afternoon for a short trip. He hasn't smiled like that in a long time. A 3-day smile. -Charleston, SC Camp Parent

Spectrum Sailing is a wonderful all inclusive program! It allows for special needs individuals to learn not only to sail in a calm manner, but also to push them outside of their comfort zone to experience something extremely fun and rewarding. Scott Herman and his staff are incredible at what they do in providing a life-long skill in a beautiful sport, which also includes developing social skills and teamwork. I along with many others are very happy to see someone take the lead with this kind of unique program and super excited to see it grow! Keep up the great work! -Charleston, SC Camp Parent

This kid just had the most incredible week sailing in Lake Michigan with Spectrum Sailing. Ben ended this week with a whole new skill set, excitement, and so much confidence. He didn't want camp to end. We feel so incredibly lucky he had this opportunity. -Chicago, IL Camp Parent

Gaby gained the confidence to learn new skills during camp and is now open to trying other new things. Your efforts have given her lasting memories of a unique experience and set the stage for a great summer ahead! -Chicago, IL Camp Parent

James and Liam joined Spectrum Sailing this week at their Chicago camp and they had an amazing time. I'm so thankful for the opportunity they had to experience this and learn about sailing and boat safety! -Chicago, IL Camp Parent

This was such an amazing opportunity. Landen had such a great time, he couldn't wait to go each day, which is huge for him. We are deeply grateful! Thank you so much. - Jacksonville, FL Camp Parent

So children with vision loss can have some books at home!

Originally called “Anna’s Book Angel Project” in memory of Anna K. Bonde, this program has provided over 112,000 free braille books to children since 2002!

Each child with vision loss ages birth-21 in the U.S. and Canada can now receive one order of 5 free braille books from Seedlings per calendar year.

*This program is for children with vision loss ages birth-21 in the U.S. and Canada only. While we would love to provide free books to everyone, we must be good stewards of the grants and donations that fund this program which are intended only for children with vision loss ages birth-21.

Does Medical Assistance pay for durable medical equipment and

repairs?

You have rights if you are on Medical Assistance (Medicaid).

Medical Assistance (Medicaid) is government-funded health insurance for

low-income children and adults, including many persons with disabilities.

Medicaid includes ACCESS, ACCESS Plus, and Medical Assistance

managed care health plans (HealthChoices and voluntary managed care).

Medical Assistance pays for durable medical equipment, such as motorized

and manual wheelchairs, walkers, standing devices, and patient lifts.

Medical Assistance also pays for most repairs or replacement parts even if

you did not use Medical Assistance to buy the equipment.

Like all other Medical Assistance providers, a durable medical equipment

(DME) or other medical supply provider that is enrolled in Medical

Assistance can only ask you to pay the Medical Assistance copayment

(usually not more than $6), if any is due. Also, the provider is not allowed

to charge supplementary payments—like delivery fees, service charges

such as charges for a home visit to pick up or repair equipment or

advanced payments/deposits. Also, the provider can bill you only if the

provider informed you ahead of time that Medical Assistance would not pay

for the service.

AT-4 Page | 1If you have Medical Assistance (Medicaid), you are protected by these

Medical Assistance rules even if you also have Medicare or other health

insurance.

DO YOU HAVE A “DISABILITY” COVERED BY THE ADA?

Congress enacted the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) in 1990 to

confer broad protections on individuals with disabilities in the areas of

employment, state and local government services, and public

accommodations (such as restaurants, stores, museums, theaters, service

establishments, and private schools). Unfortunately, the courts initially

narrowly construed the term “disability” under the ADA, effectively

excluding many people who should have been covered from the Act’s

protections. As a result, Congress passed the Americans with Disabilities

Amendments Act in 2008 to overturn those narrow interpretations. This

Fact Sheet will address the current definition of “disability” under the ADA

as well as situations in which the ADA applies to people who do not have

disabilities.

The mission of the OI Foundation is to improve the quality of life for those living with osteogenesis imperfecta through research, education, awareness, and mutual support.

The Osteogenesis Imperfecta Foundation, Inc. (OI Foundation) is the only voluntary national health organization dedicated to supporting people with osteogenesis imperfecta and their families. The Foundation’s mission is to improve the quality of life for people affected by OI through research, education, awareness, and mutual support. The OI Foundation began in 1970 by a small group of parents. At that time, they banded together to stimulate public and professional interest, support families and encourage research. Today, many of the people who serve on the Board of Directorsand oversee the Foundation’s operations have OI themselves or are parents of children with OI.

Research

Since 1970, the OI Foundation’s funding for research has doubled every five years, for a total investment of more than $3.3 million. Funding is available for postdoctoral fellowships to encourage new investigators to begin a career in OI research, and seed grants for preliminary research. All applications are reviewed by the Foundation’s Scientific Review Committee, which includes many preeminent OI researchers and clinicians. Funding also supports the OI Registry and the Linked Clinical Research Centers. Funded research increases potential for advances in gene therapy, a new diagnostic test and drug therapies under study.

Education

The Foundation’s principal education event is the OIF National Conference, which provides more than 570 people with medical, research, and coping information. For many, it’s the first opportunity to meet others who are living with OI. In addition, the Foundation is continually developing new information resources in response to the needs of families, individuals, and professionals working with those affected by OI. Topics covered include schooling, pain management, psychosocial needs of the family, child abuse, fracture management, and osteoporosis.

Awareness

The Foundation strives to build public awareness and generate additional support among individuals, community organizations, public agencies, and medical professionals. Up-to-date information on OI- from medical issues to daily living strategies- is available via phone, Internet, fax, and mail. The Foundation also reaches out with print publications, press releases, DVDs, and the website.

Mutual Support

Improving quality of life is a continuing challenge that our small group of staff and enormous army of volunteerswork constantly to achieve. From  support and network groups to expanding resources or raising funds, the OI community and Foundation staff provide quality support services to OI community members.

Aydens Cars for Kids is back! But this time it won’t be the typical “show” that we have come to know and love. After our 6 year hiatus, Aydens Cars for Kids is kicking things off with a car meet at the Barn Resort in Gettysburg, PA! Even though it is just a “car meet” we still expect an amazing turn out to support an amazing cause and family!

There will be no awards, no judging and no competitions. So with that being said, there will be no entry fee, BUT, there will be donation jars and other ways for us to raise money for Asher and his family!

There is a restaurant, bar, concessions and large arcade on site, and we will be making posts later on about other activities that will be going on throughout the day!

Meet Asher Moe, a 9-year-old little boy from Gettysburg Pennsylvania who has been diagnosed with stage 4 neuroblastoma. His cancer originated from the pancreas and is very aggressive. He is currently undergoing chemotherapy treatments at Hershey Medical Center in Hershey, Pennsylvania. Asher will require ongoing medical treatment over the next 1.5 year to 2 years, including chemotherapy, surgery, and radiation therapy.

Before his diagnosis Asher was a very healthy and active child who enjoyed activities such as riding his bike, playing basketball. He is a huge fan of exotic cars. Some of his favorites are Toyota Supra mk5 & mk4 ,Nissan GTR R35 (or R34), Lamborghini, McLaren, Bugatti, Tesla Roaster, and Koenigsegg.

We look forward to seeing everyone again!

Something I was not aware of is, not only is there No cost CHIP and Low cost CHIP, but there is FULL cost CHIP! This has saved me about $800 a month in health insurance! I had not clue there was a full cost option which is way cheaper than my job or Pennie! And PA has to insure every child until the age of 19 with health insurance regardless of parent income! If you don’t qualify for free or low cost CHIP, you can apply for the full cost…which averages about $240 a month.
