Friends of Special Children

How Can I Help?


 

There are many challenges in raising a child with disabilities, the care can be very involved and the financial stress placed on the family is incredibly heavy. Our state is ranked one of the lowest nationally providing services to people with disabilities and special needs. Many of us are not aware of these statistics until we are directly affected. Because these statistics are so high, we try to help in as many areas as we can.

Your support is needed too:

For every dollar spent in early intervention services/support given to a family/child with special needs, an estimated economic benefit of $1.07 to $17.07 is recognized in the local community. * Strengthening families with a child with special needs strengthens our local community.

What a community wide difference your donation can make!

Thank you for taking the time to make a difference for a family today. Whether it is $10, $25, $50 or more, you will help make a family stronger.

A donation of $25 helps to sponsor emergency diapers for a family in financial crisis or provides food for a diagnosis specific workshop for 15 to 20 parents.

A donation of $50 purchases shoe inserts for a child learning to walk correctly.

A donation of $100 will sponsor a support group for 4 months.

A donation of $250 will help provide basic childhood necessities as well as therapy toys and tools for up to 8 families.

A donation of $500 will help purchase assistive equipment to be part of our lending program.

A donation of $660 will suppy ear molds and have hearing aids fitted for one child.
 
A donation of $1000 will sponsor our annual summer BBQ or holiday party for up to 500 children with disabilities, their parents and siblings.
