Recently Filled Needs

Diapers for Newborn


A single Mom is due any day and is in need of both size 1 and newborn diapers.  This Mom has been unable to work for the past six weeks due to health complications related to her pregnancy and is unable to purchase the diapers because of it.  Please consider supporting this parent and her new baby.

Flexible glasses for a 2nd grader


2nd grader in need of flexible framed prescription glasses.  Donations for any amount accepted so we can get this student the eyewear she requires. 

Rent Assistance


An Anthony Wayne family with two primary age students is requesting help with their rent.  The parents were not able to work for the past month due to illness and lack of transportation.  They are requesting support to avoid an eviction notice and have resumed employment  in an effort to avoid this situation next month.  Please consider supporting this family through this challenge as they get back on their feet.

Electric Bill Support


An Anthony Wayne family has fallen behind on their bills this month after an illness kept them out of work for three weeks.  They have received a shut-off notice for both electric and water.  Please consider supporting this family of six by donating towards this need. Thank you

Gas Cards for Medical Appointment


An Anthony Wayne Primary student is in need of gas cards to support an out of town medical appointment.  This student is unable to get the care they need locally and needs to access care that is 45 minutes away, one way.  Please consider supporting this family in accessing appropriate medical care by donating a $25 gift card to cover the cost of gas.

BILLY Shoes for AFOs (ankle-foot orthosis)


An Anthony Wayne Primary Student is in need of a shoe that will fit over their AFO (ankle-foot orthosis).  An AFO is a custom-made medical device that stabilizes and supports the ankle and foot. Their insurance covers the AFO but  will not cover appropriate footwear to fit over them and support the braces.  BILLY Footwear incorporates zippers that go along the side of the shoes and around the toe, allowing the upper of each shoe to open and fold over completely. Thus the wearer can place his or her foot onto the shoe footbed unobstructed. Then with a tug on the zipper-pull the shoe closes and secures overtop the user's foot, so that the student can put their own shoes off and on. The cost of the shoes is $100.
Please consider supporting this student by purchasing a pair of BILLY shoes for them to wear.  The shoes require a prescription, therefore, please make a monetary donation towards the purchase of these shoes.
