The Australian MPS Society can help by connecting them to other families and directing families to important sources of information. We also provide financial support to families through our Member Assistance Program—MAP. These grants can assist to to offset the many costs incurred with a diagnosis, such as travel to MPS Conferences, medical aides and equipment and respite.
It is hope that draws us together Hope for a cure, hope for a better day, hope for a bright and fulfilling future for our children.
