Healthcare & Community Partners
Supporting families begins with listening—and strong connections among the people who care for them.
Working together for the littlest warriors
The Littlest Warriors Foundation is a Mississippi nonprofit public charity inspired by Joshua Evan Mitchell’s legacy. We aim to surround eligible families of infants and young children facing serious or life-threatening medical conditions with practical assistance, compassionate presence and trustworthy resources.
Hospital social workers, case managers, pediatric care teams, community nonprofits, and other family-serving organizations are welcome to ask about our program guidelines, potential referrals, and ways to collaborate.
Understanding family-assistance eligibility
Our initial assistance policy focuses on Mississippi households facing financial or practical hardship associated with a child from prenatal diagnosis through 23 months of age. Certain geographic exceptions may be considered under written criteria.
Potential categories include medical travel, temporary lodging, basic essentials, household stability, sibling care and limited bereavement assistance. Eligibility, review standards, current funding and program availability govern all decisions.
How to inquire about a possible referral
For general program information, contact info@littlestwarriors.org using the subject Healthcare Partner Inquiry. You may describe your organization and the broad category of help a family is seeking, without identifying a patient.
If the Foundation is accepting applications, we will explain the available steps and any secure process required for additional details. A conversation or referral does not guarantee an application will be accepted or assistance awarded.
Protect confidentiality from the first contact
Please do not send patient names, medical records, diagnoses, identifying case notes, Social Security numbers, insurance details, or financial documents through ordinary email. Families should only provide sensitive materials through an approved, appropriate channel when specifically instructed.
No family is expected to tell its story publicly or participate in religious activities. The Foundation maintains independent, disinterested assistance decisions and respects the roles and privacy responsibilities of healthcare partners.
Explore community partnerships
We welcome conversations about community awareness, practical resources, volunteer services and relationships that could make families’ journeys easier. We cannot promise a specific partnership, referral pathway or level of assistance without review.
