Help Military Kids with Special Needs Thrive

Hi, my name is Michael Wish. I’m a Marine Corps officer, educator, and proud father of a beautiful girl named Claire Bethany, who was born with cerebral palsy. Inspired by her strength, I’m launching the Claire Bethany Foundation to help enlisted military families afford the specialized equipment, not covered by insurance, their children with disabilities need. Our mission is simple: no military family should have to choose between financial stability and giving their child the tools to thrive. Your support will help us provide adaptive devices, mobility aids, communication tools, and more to those who serve our country and are raising exceptional children. Thank you for standing with us.

We are currently in the process of applying for 501(c)(3) nonprofit and tax-exempt status. Your donation today will help cover the initial legal fees and startup costs to get us fully operational. Once our application is approved—which we expect to happen well before the end of the year—your donation will be retroactively tax-deductible under IRS rules.
