Information Corner
Stay in the KNOW
Individuals with Special Needs will need support throughout their life time.
Caregivers want to make sure their individuals with Special Needs are taken care of financially when they are no longer able to provide for them and may plan to take out an insurance policy and name the individual with Special Needs as the beneficiary.
Be careful NOT TO DO THIS. Any lump-sums paid from a life insurance policy directly to Individuals with Special Needs will jeopardize any government benefits (ex; Social Security) that they are entitled to.
To leave an Individual with Special Needs any lump sums of monies from insurance policies or any other financial sources set up a Special Needs Trust (SNT) and name that Special Needs Trust as the BENEFICIARY.

Carnation Green
MOTHER OF SIMONE FOUNDATION OF H.O.P.E.
A LIFE OF LOYAL SERVICE
Carnation Green gained its name because Mother Joan Deborah's favorite color was green.
Carnation was added because of the carnation's flower beauty, resilience, and durability.
Carnation Green came to life shortly after Mother Joan Deborah took residency in her heavenly home.
Carnation Green is an entity of SFH that provides a focused dedicated service to those with extraordinary needs.
Carnation Green is dedicated to Mother Joan Deborah's service of love throughout her life. As a young girl, she was family oriented and would help her siblings on a continuous basis -- all other family and friends could depend on her as well. She is a gentle spirit.
Her service would continue through her life. She was committed to human-kind. She would ultimately decide to make a career caring for others.
She was a nurse for 32 years until retirement. Mother Joan Deborah would continue serving others after her retirement. She held part-time jobs at skilled care facilities. She was loyal in the care of both of her parents. And began a NEW "Mothership" as she became intense support for a child with extraordinary needs (disabilities). Mother Joan Deborah would then serve as the advisor, funny lady, and diplomat of SFH.
Mother Joan Deborah would be an honorary board member until her separation from this Earth. Ironically, She continues to hold the status of Honorary Board Member. The status is eternal for her.
Carnation Green is in HONOR of MOTHER JOAN DEBORAH's Loyal Service.
