School Fees for Baldwin Prep Student

A student at Baldwin Preparatory Academy is requesting assistance with required $155 school fees due to unexpected family financial hardship. The custodial parent is currently managing expenses for four children. In addition to covering household expenses and rent, the family is experiencing transportation challenges after their primary vehicle became inoperable. These circumstances have created a temporary financial strain, making it difficult to pay required school fees at this time. Assistance with this student's school fees will help alleviate an immediate financial burden and ensure the student has access to the resources and opportunities available through the school year.

Virtual School family in need

We have a Virtual School student whose family has experienced homelessness this summer. They have finally secured a roof over their head in a local campground cabin and are in need of the basics such as hygiene items, bedding and groceries. We would like to provide a Walmart gift card so they can choose personal items and school supplies this week. If you would like to contribute to this need, please click I Can Help. Any amount would be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much for showing kindness to this local family as they get back on their feet!

Daphne Youth Club snack need

As we wrap up summer camp, snacks and gatorade are needed in the final weeks to keep our little ones fed and hydrated. An end of summer outdoor party is planned with water slides to keep the kids cool while having a little fun! We would like to sponsor this event by providing chips, cookies, pickles and drinks. If you would like to join us in providing snacks for 90 campers, please click I Can Help to contribute. Thank you so much for spreading kindness and love to our community!

FHS band student needs help

We have a talented Fairhope band student who needs help paying the fees for this school year. His family is unable to cover the cost of the uniform and fees for the fall and unfortunately if the fees are not paid, the student would not be able to march during football season. We would love to bless this family by paying the band expense so this young man can nurture his musical talent and maintain a connection with his peers. If you would like to contribute to this need, please click I Can Help and neighborhood bridges will pay the school directly for the fees. ($443.95)
