Meow Meow Foundation to Debut New Family and Victim Support Service in April

Meow Meow Foundation has added a support service for families and victims who have been involved in drowning or camp safety-related incidents.

The support service includes investigative services to determine the causes of child harm in camp and aquatics environments, lawsuit guidance and attorney engagement, media engagement, 24/7 phone call access for emotional support, legislative/advocacy support and select opportunities for funding.

“As we continue to experience the grief and confusion of our one and only child dying from a preventable drowning at a summer camp, we understand the long, hard road that families endure after such a tragedy,” said Meow Meow Foundation President Doug Forbes. “Even if a child survives an aquatics or camp-related injury or abuse incident, we are eager to help caregivers navigate an often confusing road to recovery.”

Forbes and foundation co-founder Elena Matyas implore survivors to seek help instead of isolating. They said that far too many caregivers endure the emotional hardships associated with children harmed in aquatics or camp incidents. They want to provide an often overlooked component of advocacy that extends beyond sharing experiences — one that offers tangible well-being and educational resources.
