Opportunities for Kindness

Graduation Gifts for Disadvantaged Students


Graduation is an incredible milestone in any senior's life. Dublin Bridges would love to once again celebrate those seniors who are identified by their high schools' administrators and guidance counselors as needing some extra support. We know that in some cases, the graduation ceremony is the only celebration that they get, and we want to make sure that they feel celebrated at this incredibly important time in their lives. We want to provide them with a gift card and a special treat as a graduation gift from their community. If you would like to make a monetary donation towards this endeavor, please go to http://bit.ly/donatedublin or click on I CAN HELP, and a donation link will be sent to you.

Car Repair Needed for Family of Six


Our partners at One Dublin came to us on behalf of a family of six with a single-income household. The father is currently recovering from surgery and is unable to work. The family had two cars and sold one of them to be able to pay rent and additional bills. The car they kept now requires repairs. 

The cost to repair the car is $2,230.41. To ensure safe and reliable transportation for the family, Dublin Bridges would like to split the cost with One Dublin and the Dublin Worthington Rotary Foundation by providing $743.47 to fill this need.

Electricity Disconnected


***This need has been bridged to our kind partners at One Dublin.***

An advocate in one of the high schools contacted us about a student whose primary residence had its electricity shut off two days ago. The parents recently separated which is causing a financial strain. The student works to help pay some of the household bills. The student is currently able to stay at a friend's house for the weekend, where there is electricity.

Medicine Copay Needed for High School Student


One Dublin came to us on behalf of a family of four facing financial hardship due to a recent death in the family and expenses associated with the out of state funeral. The family's son, who has been relying on critical growth hormone medication for over three years, is now at risk of discontinuing treatment due to the financial strain. Stopping this medication is not advised by his endocrinologist. The test to qualify as needing this medication is very comprehensive including hours of injections and blood draws to track levels and response.

The medication copay costs $3,266.66 and is crucial for the son's well-being. To ensure continued access, Dublin Bridges would like to split the cost with One Dublin and the Dublin Worthington Rotary Foundation by providing $1,266.66 to fill this need.
