Services We Offer:
As Let There Be Mom continues to develop, we will use our experiences with each family to lead our way. We will seek to preserve the memories they already have and search for ways to help them generate new ones. An illness can take a toll on a family in many ways, financially, emotionally and of-course, physically. With this in mind we have developed a core starting point for our services.
Initial Meeting:
A lead team of two volunteers will meet with each mother and discuss areas in which we can provide support. They will brainstorm with her to discover what she thinks will work best for her family based on her current medical state.
"Mom Team" in action:
The 2 team leaders will then assemble a full support team to focus on the family and work on coordinating services for them.
Amount of support/time dedicated to each family:
Unfortunately, the resources of Let There Be Mom are not limitless. In our efforts to help each family that qualifies for our services, it is necessary to limit the amount of money spent on and time spent with each family. At this time, we anticipate working approximately 3 months with each family.
Ideas on ways we can help:
Hire a photographer, supply each mother with journals, get the family a video camera, design unique family adventures, coordinate family meal & errand teams, coordinate special events (i.e.birthdays, anniversaries, etc.), give hospital care packages (to include books, art supplies, video games, snacks, etc.), compile a family cookbook of Mom's favorite recipes, and many more ideas are waiting to be discovered.
To Apply for Our Services:
If you would like to nominate yourself, or if you are aware of another Mother who is living with a life threatening illness, please contact us.

Who is Eligible For Our Services
Let There Be Mom provides assistance to mothers who have been diagnosed with a life threatening illness. The moms we serve must have at least one dependent child, under the age of 18, residing in their home. The physician of each qualifying mom must agree that her illness is life threatening and attest to the fact that should the mother refuse medical treatment her life expectancy would be 2 years or less. We do not discriminate based on age, race, religion or financial status.
Each mother who meets our criteria and who is interested in establishing her legacy should contact us to let us know of her interest. In order to determine her eligibility for our services, we will mail her a full application packet. Upon completion of all necessary forms, by the patient, family members and the physician the entire application will be reviewed. When a Mom is accepted into our program Her Team will be assigned as soon as possible.
At this time, we are able to serve families that live in or around the Greenville, SC area. Our vision is to expand nationwide.
Who Can Refer a Mom
Due to the sensitive nature of our cause, we require that the Mother, herself, request our services. If you are a family member or friend, we will be happy to mail you a brochure about Let There Be Mom that you care share with the special Mom you have in mind.
