Spanish Fort Middle special needs student requires safety seat

We have a student that has a need for toilet safety rail seat. She was born with disability that limits her ability to independently address her care and daily activities of living. She needs equipment at her home to help her toilet and her family is unable to provide it for her. She struggles to get up to the toilet and off, so the rails are important. If you would like to help alleviate the daily struggle of this young girl, please click I Can Help to contribute to the purchase. Cost of the seat is $75.90 and neighborhood bridges will take care of ordering the property style and size. Thank you so much for spreading kindness in our community!
