Our Vision

To build a world where every child with a life-limiting condition — and every family who loves them — is wrapped in comfort, compassion, and unwavering community. We envision a Michigan where pediatric palliative and hospice care is shaped not by sorrow, but by connection, dignity, and moments that reflect the beauty and resilience of childhood.

In this future, families are supported, understood, and never left to navigate the hardest days on their own. Every child receives care that honors who they are — their personality, their joy, and their spirit — while families find strength, rest, and a network that lifts them up. Through education, advocacy, and deeply rooted support, The Mitten Foundation is committed to creating a more compassionate Michigan, one where no child’s journey is walked alone and every moment that matters is cherished.
