Families can apply for as much as $1,000 in unrestricted funds to help ease the expenses -- food, lodging, gasoline, no matter what -- that often accompany long-term medical treatment. Parker's Purpose is one of the few organizations that pay directly to families, not providers for services.
The hope of the foundation is to not only help people that are in need but to also foster a positive self worth and self esteem to the individuals giving. Parker's Purpose believe's there is nothing more uplifting than knowing you are helping someone and making their life better for it. Through this they are hopeful it can spark a change in our society on how we treat each other and ourselves (Decrease abuse whether it be drugs, alcohol, gambling, sex, verbal, domestic, physical etc.).
