Care Management Story
Your Donations Changing Lives
We received a call into our Information and Referral Center (IRC) 1-800-344-4867 last week from the brother of someone in our Colorado MS Community that has had no previous contact with the MS Society. His sister, a resident of Colorado for 20 years, experienced a sudden and dramatic decrease in family income and she and her son were facing immediate eviction from their home. Compounding the situation, his sister lives her life to its fullest in her scooter while depending on public transportation.
Our Colorado Chapter Care Management Services were notified, a one-on-one assessment was completed and a care plan put into action. Within two days of receiving the initial call and just five days before eviction, temporary housing was established and paid for through our Colorado Chapter emergency financial assistance program and paper work was submitted for long-term housing assistance. Several community and family resources will continue to be leveraged to make this transition as comfortable as possible and our Care Manager will continue to help as long as necessary.
Donations made to the Colorado Chapter of the National Multiple Sclerosis Society through events like Walk MS make it possible for us to help those families living with MS when life happens. We thank you for your generosity, hard work leveraging donations and your commitment to our Colorado MS Community.
