MUMS:
History &
Mission
Statement
MUMS Logo - Mother & Child

  • MUMS is a national Parent-to-Parent organization for parents or care providers of a child with any disability, rare or not so rare disorder, chromosomal abnormality or health condition.

  • MUMS' main purpose is to provide support to parents in the form of a networking system that matches them with other parents whose children have the same or similar condition.

  • Through a database of over 18,000 families from 54 countries covering over 3500 disorders, very rare syndromes or conditions can be matched.

  • Parents can then exchange valuable medical information, as well as, the names of doctors, clinics and medical resources or research programs.

  • Families provide each other with emotional support and they don't have to feel so alone when they have each other to reach out to in time of need.

  • MUMS networks with other organizations which do matching, thus expanding the possibilities of finding a match.

  • MUMS also connects parents with support groups dealing with their child's specific disability or assists them in forming a group.

  • The newsletters allow families to share and speak out about issues affecting their lives. The newsletter subscription fee parents is $15 annually, but is waived for those who cannot afford this fee. The annual fee for newsletters for professionals is $25.
