Welcome!
THE FAMILY FLAME was inspired by a wonderful elder care advocate in Florida, a lady who has dedicated her life to being a moving force to improve conditions and services in nursing homes, with a team of specialists headed by Dr. Eric Harrison.
THE FAMILY FLAME was founded and soon expanded to assist the elderly, also including those in medical crisis.
THE FAMILY FLAME is working hand-in-hand with MEND to service the STAR Hugs (Senior Theatrical Artists Rescue) "Feeding Our Own" outreach project, offering assistance to the elderly who once were performers on television, in movies and on stage, as well as other talented people behind the scenes.
When the shows end, the bright lights dim and the cameras are off, real life problems can lead to hard times for some, and MEND helps STAR Hugs to provide food, medical aid, clothing and other living essentials to entertainment industry families in need.
