EMBRACE LIFE CHILDREN'S FOUNDATION INC.
LAUDERDALE BY THE SEA, FLORIDA

Embrace Life Children's Foundation Inc. is a non-profit organization focused on supporting children with serious health issues and their families, particularly in the medical centers of Florida such as Broward General Medical Center and Miami Children’s Hospital. Founded by Carolyne U Koos, who was inspired by her personal experience raising awareness and joy for hospitalized children while supporting her son Christian's journey through healthcare systems. The foundation provides grants and services to various organizations offering psychological relief and physical therapy, exemplified by their initial partnership with Dolphin Human Therapy in Key Largo. After its closure, they continued support for similar initiatives that offer animal-assisted therapies, recognizing the impact such interactions have on children’s confidence and well-being. Embrace Life Children's Foundation Inc. allocates donations to cater directly to children’s needs at partner hospitals, fund research at institutions like Children’s National Medical Center (CNMC) focused on Myelin research, and support Island Dolphin Care with grants for special programs. The foundation extends aid by funding local events which families can enjoy together, addressing incidental needs including food, clothing, transportation, and medical equipment. The organization is guided by Ben A Koos as President and Carolyne U Koos as Vice President. Incorporated in Florida on February 13, 2006, under the company type DOMNP, it is located at Lauderdale-by-the-Sea in Broward County.
