About the Program

The KBG Foundation welcomes you to the KBG Family Network Program for KBG Syndrome-affected families.
 

The purpose of this regional program consists of the following:


  • Identify and welcome KBG Syndrome Ambassadors
  • Identify and welcome Youth Ambassadors (program in development)
  • Develop and facilitate in-person Family Days
  • Recommend sites for clinic days at/near your local medical center
  • Identify and utilize regional resources 


Once this program is successfully rolled out and being used, it is the KBG Foundation’s intent to established it globally.
 

Within this program, the KBG Foundation hopes to sponsor Family and Clinic days at least annually as well as help our ambassadors heighten their leadership skills in supporting others with KBG Syndrome and serve as a liaison with local agencies, organizations and service providers.


The Foundation has allocated a budget for each region dependent upon donations and available funds. All Foundation personnel and Ambassadors work as volunteers, receive NO salary and must adhere to the Foundation's Gifts and Reimbursement Policy and the Petty Cash Policy.

Meet the KBG Family Network Coordinator

Michelle Emmorey

I am a registered nurse and mom of two fantastic kids, living in Michigan. My daughter Shira was diagnosed with KBG syndrome in May of 2022, and after establishing her care team, I set my sights on building a community of families of individuals with KBG syndrome, as well as regional interdisciplinary teams of specialists to assist families with navigating the complexities of the diagnosis. 


Life is full of unexpected news and experiences, forcing us to change directions and adapt to a new normal. I believe that the burden of this process is alleviated by the therapeutic power of community and that the health and well-being of every KBG family is strengthened through support, solidarity, and education.
