Overview

Mission

To bring forth uplifting support to medically fragile children and their families

What it reported doing in 2025

Uplifting Support - Uplifting practical support to medically fragile children and their families. Uplifting support included the following: weekly lawn care, monthly house cleaning, hospital cafeteria card for while medically fragile children are in the hospital, welcome boxes, support groups for caregivers and bereavement support, sibling activites, events to bring families together. Due to the lack of nursing and respite support the majority of our families are single income as one parent is the caregiver. More than half of the families we serve have and annual household income less than 50% area average annual income (US Census), 36% are considered very low income (HUD) and 19% are below the poverty line (PL) vs 8% in the general population. The number of medically fragile children support by Rays For Rare was 201 families.

Operating model

Revenue model
Other-operating. 68% of the money available for current operations came from other operating revenue.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of available resources goes toward mission work. Fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
