Resources for Families

Photo credit: Familia Monge Franco. After sustaining traumatic brain and spinal cord injuries, No-Fault law allowed April M. to remain home, maintain her independence and raise a family. After suddenly losing access to home care and therapies due to Auto Reform, she contacted over 150 homecare agencies, but none would take auto cases anymore. Survivors like April are in urgent need of a state-wide directory of care providers who still take auto clients.

The crisis caused by the Auto No-Fault Reform through 45% pay cuts and loopholes for insurance companies forced providers to shutdown or stop providing services to auto crash survivors. The care that injured persons received to sustain their very lives was in many cases lost overnight. It has become nearly impossible for survivors to access care after the reform, leaving families to provide nurse-level care without pay or displacing survivors into hospitals and nursing homes.

The Michigan Interfaith Coalition is trying to help families by compiling a list of needed resources, connecting families to community organizations, and identifying providers who can still take auto insurance. It is our duty as faith leaders to care for the most vulnerable in our society, by acting with compassion, kindness and love.
