Who are we?
Our Story
Florida Compassion Foundation is a not-for-profit Florida corporation founded by Tracy and Kimberly (Kim) Hussey following the death of Kimberly’s Mom. Kim’s Mom passed away from early onset Alzheimer’s disease at the young age of 68.
Kim and Tracy have not only witnessed first hand how this atrocious disease affected the person with the disease, but also the patient's spouse, family and loved ones.
In many ways it is more devastating to the loved ones than to the patient themselves.
Florida Compassion Foundation raises funds to help the families of Alzheimer’s and dementia patients. We assist with items that insurance will not cover. Anything from private nursing care to travel expense funds. We want to serve caregivers, of those who are afflicted, with the compassion Jesus Christ has for each of us.
Florida Compassion Foundation is here to serve you.
