Help Support Families With Disabilities
You get requests on almost a daily basis whether by phone, email, or mail asking you to donate to various causes. So why should you donate to yet another organization? (Let alone ANOTHER disabilities one.)
After 10+ years living with a progressive disease, I have learned that what people with disablities want (besides a cure) is support living NOW. There are millions looking for Cures, Medications, and Treatments that may one day reverse our disabilities. These are worthy causes. But the big boys have got that area covered and they've got more than enough support to do it.
MS MOMS is about living NOW. Our donations go back into MS MOMS so that we can expand our outreach and, with enough luck and funding, we can grow our programs that assist families with disabilities facing daily challenges. (Like how to write a donation letter while your 3yr old bounces a balloon off your head and begs for more oatmeal. When the heck did she decide gruel was good food?)
The programs we are hoping to continue:
In the future we hope to offer
1. Mom's Attic. A place where you can give your used items to others in need. We're not just talking about medical equipment (hey you want my used bedpan? ewwww), but clothing for all family members, and larger items such as wheelchairs, furniture & accessible cars.
2. Yearly gatherings to bring MS MOMS together to share, meet, and simply get to hug that person who has been talking you through your fears at 3am.
I could keep going with my dreams for MS MOMS, but a wise man once told me to pace myself and focus on doing one thing extremely well. But that was my father so of course I’m being the hare and dashing all over the place!
Thank you for considering a donation to MS MOMS so that we can continue helping those with disabilities to Learn, Laugh, and Live.
