Gas Card for Magnolia Family in Crisis

We have a family in our school community that is in urgent need of support. This family has fallen on hard times due to inconsistent work, and recently, one of the children suffered an arm injury and now requires follow-up doctor’s appointments. Unfortunately, the family does not have enough gas to get to the appointments, pick up medication for the child and travel to the food pantry. We want to provide a $100 gas card to help them meet these needs. Donations to neighborhood bridges will be used to purchase a card. Thank you for caring and for always supporting our students and families in need.

Medical Transportation for BME Student

A student at Bay Minette Elementary is in urgent need of transportation to a medical appointment. The family does not have access to a vehicle and that has created a barrier to receiving essential care. Attending this appointment is critical to ensuring this student can access the care needed to thrive both in and out of the classroom. The cost for transportation is $140. Donations toward this may be made by CLICKING HERE to be taken to our secure donation page. neighborhood bridges will pay the transportation. Thank you for your help.
