Our 3 Service Buckets


Funding for Families


           
Service Bucket one:

We know how special and personal the hospice experience can be.  Even though it is a very trying and emotional time for everyone involved it can also be in a loving, caring, and safe environment.   We understand basic needs are difficult; therefore, Project 4031 desires to provide for families during these times.  If you or a loved one are on hospice and are having difficulty meeting the needs for everyday living, Project 4031 is here for you.  We have funding in place to help provide basic needs.  Please view the guidelines below and if you believe this program would be beneficial for you or your family member on Hospice you may fill out the form under the tab “Needing assistance.”
          

 Fulfilling Dreams

Service Bucket two:

We know how important it is to leave this earth with a sense of peace not only for the patient but also the family.  From personal experience, Kristina Robertson our Executive Director’s grandmother was in her last stages of cancer when she received hospice care.  Her dream was to be able to pass away at the home she had lived at for more than 50 years.  Because of hospice this dream could be fulfilled.  It meant the world to her family and I know it meant the world to her for this wish to be granted.
            Through our fulfilling dreams program we are able to partner with other organizations and families so that hospice patients are able to leave this earth with joy and peace.  If you or a loved one has a last wish you would like to be granted please fill out the contact form.


Hospice International

Service Bucket three:

Through our efforts in partnering with other health care organizations we have recognized needs internationally.  Project 4031 has partnered with National HME, a hospice medical equipment  provider, to refurbish their equipment.  At the end of a reasonable amount of time we will take those supplies and relocate them to other international hospice organizations around the world. Our goal is to provide the needed medical equipment and supplies to patients so they are as comfortable as possible during their end of life journey.   

Our Story


Our story begins with the passion and heart of Joshua Robertson and his vision to make the Hospice community a stronger component for patients and their families during their end of life journey.   Across the United States and around the globe people are not experiencing their end of life story to the fullest, and sometimes without the comfort of needed equipment and medical supplies.  Project 4031 was created to assist with their story; enhancing closure that provides peace, joy, and a sense of fulfillment. The original business devoted to providing medical equipment for the hospice industry, National HME, Inc. was formed in 2006; which has further identified the many needs related to end of life care.
            Joshua Robertson began his interest in the hospice industry more than six years ago during his senior class project at Texas Tech University; he developed and wrote a business plan.  In his research he found that there was a gap of communication and understanding between the hospice companies and the equipment provider.  In seeing this he decided to make the situation a better one, and thus launched his dream to make a difference in the hospice marketplace.
             
          The leadership of the company and the Robertson family have had a passion to reach out and assist with additional needs for hospice patients and decided to form a Foundation.  Project 4031 was birthed in 2011. Through many of prayers and guidance from our Lord and Savior,  Josh’s wife Kristina Robertson a former school teacher decided to resign from her teaching career and pursue their families passion of helping the hospice community.

            With an abundance of prayers, guidance, teamwork, mentorship, and above all else our Lord Jesus Christ, Project 4031 is a dream that is in the midst of becoming a realty.  

            We describe our goals for Project 4031 as three buckets of service.

1.                    Provide sustainable resources so the caregivers can adequately meet the needs 
             the patients and families during their end of life care.
2.                    Provide the needed medical equipment and supplies to patients so they are as 
             comfortable as possible.
3.                    Partnering with families and other organizations honoring dreams so they may 
             leave this earth fulfilled.
“Whatever you do work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men.  Knowing that from the Lord you will receive the inheritance as your reward.  You are serving the Lord Christ.”  Colossians 3:23-24. We know that this is not our work, but the work of our Savior.  Our prayer everyday is to be good stewards of Project 4031.  If we always keep this in the forefront of everything we do, His work will be done. Our prayer is that you will join us in our passion and mission to strengthen the end of life stories for hospice patients and their families around the world.
