The mission of the Gift of Life America Fund (GLAF) is to improve the lives of children under the age of 18 who are citizens of the United States of America and are economically disadvantaged, in adoptive or foster care, or awaiting adoption, by filling gaps in public funding for medical, dental and ocular needs and supporting services, and/or making funding available for other activities, goods, and/or services that will enhance the quality of life of these children.
Since its inception in 2004, the Gift of Life America Fund has made numerous awards to families with sick children that are facing overwhelming financial burden. This year it also provided funding for nursing care to infants that have been born drug-addicted and are living in foster care; specialized equipment for several severely physically disabled children; Braille books and outdoor guide rails for a visually-impaired child; and therapeutic equipment to a local hospital for premature infants . It also runs a program to give local hospitals cribs, strollers and infant car seats that they can supply free of charge to new parents unable to afford these basic necessities.
Chaired by Nicholas Laganella II, the Fund’s committee members are: Peter Caminiti, Sr., Dick Clancy, Joseph Coniglio, Lois D. Horowitz, Hon. Herbert C. Klein, Robert Pimienta, Joseph Gallagher, and Joan M. Wright. The Fund is administered by non-profit Children’s Aid and Family Services.
