The Davies Project

The Davies Project provides non-medical support, particularly rides to doctor appointments, to Lansing area children with serious health conditions.

As a community, we must do what we can to encourage all health care providers to
work together to improve how care is delivered to the children of greater Lansing. More
importantly, the community must be ready to share the burden by offering the help that it
can. The Davies Project for Mid-Michigan Children is ready to tackle this challenge by
fundraising for, and coordinating, extra support for families.

Picture this: A mother, her heart heavy with worry, faces the prospect of navigating the labyrinth of healthcare appointments for her seriously ill child.

Another family, their world revolving around the NICU, grapples with the unforeseen need for urgent medical attention.

Stories like these are what fuel our commitment to action. What fuels yours?

Help us meet the urgent and ever-growing demand for immediate transportation to medical appointments for our TDP families, by signing up as a volunteer driver: https://thedaviesproject.org/get-involved/

This Memorial Day, we pause to remember and honor the brave men and women who gave their lives in service to our country.

We’re grateful for their sacrifice and for the freedoms their courage has made possible, including special time with friends and family this holiday weekend. The Firehouse is closed today, but we’ll see you back in the office on Tuesday!

Have a safe and meaningful Memorial Day weekend!

The emotional toll of having a sick child is overwhelming, and for families without reliable transportation, the stress can be unbearable.

During Mental Health Awareness Month this May, we’re grateful for the important connection our drivers provide to families who are dealing with the emotional effects of their child’s long-term illness or health crisis. The connection we’re able to provide to the larger community helps families feel less isolated and a little more supported, and it’s all thanks to drivers and donors like you.

A big thank-you to our incredible volunteers for helping grow our monthly active driver count from 45 in February to 46 in March.

That may sound like a small change, but EVERY additional driver means more opportunities to serve families and more children getting to the essential medical care they need. Because of you, our impact continues to grow!

We’re so grateful for the time, care, and commitment our volunteer drivers bring to this mission every single month.

And a quick reminder for our drivers: mileage reimbursement is available at $0.70 per passenger mile, reimbursed monthly. Drivers also have the option to donate mileage back at $0.14 per mile if they choose.
