Diapers and Wipes Needed for Single Parent Family
Single parent family with 5 children is needing help supplying diapers and wipes. Due to limited financial resources, this parent must choose between buying diapers/wipes for her three children in diapers, or buying food for her family. In effort to help her be able to allocate her resources towards providing food for her family, please consider donating diapers (size 4, 5, and 6) and wipes. Thank you for considering!
Wheelchair Accessible Van With Ramp Needed
A hard working single mother of a 15 year old student with multiple disabilities is in need of a wheelchair accessible van with ramp or a van that could be modified to support a ramp. The student is wheelchair bound and cannot stand on his own. As the student grows physically into a young man, it is becoming more difficult for his mother to move him in and out of his wheelchair into her current vehicle. The mother needs the van to transport her son to his medical appointments and many physical, occupational and speech therapy sessions that will continue throughout the coming years. The family would be very appreciative of any help! They are currently working with an advocate to possible access services through Butler County DD to help with some of the needs as well. While we know this is a big ask, we would love to be able to help this student and his family.
Recently Filled Needs
Back To School Calculators
We have students in need of specialized calculators for Math classes. We have approximately 10 High School students that need the TI 83, 83+ or 84 and do not qualify for support from other community organizations. We also have approximately 10 Junior High students in need of the TI 30XIIS. The total cost is approximately $1250 to meet these needs as we are trying to buy these in bulk for reduced cost, with batteries included. However, if you have a very gently used working TI calculator of any of these models, we would welcome those as well. We know that we may have more than our initially identified students and these can continue to help meet the need.
