Fundraising for Some Special Kids!

I know this is not probably the best time of year to ask for help but I will see what I can do! I currently have three kids with CI and would like to do special needs donations for each one of them. For those not part of the CI family these gifts are larger items that will help the family and the children tremendously. I received the requests for 3 kids. All 3 of them have medical conditions. I am going to post about 2 of their special needs to try to make this money for them as quick as possible. I also am waiting Brayans special needs request. If you can help please use the donate button on the right of this page. All money donated will be used to fund these requests. Once the money is raised and I get the photos of the children with the items I will post so you can see what you helped to achieve! The reason why I am taking donations through paypal is because I want to get Jessica these items ASAP. If I set up a First Giving page it takes up to two months AFTER we raise the funds. This is just a personal project I am trying to get done.
JESSICA from Ecuador (She is the girl 2nd from left)


Jessica lives in a very small house with her grandmother, aunt, and young cousin. She has muscular dystrophy/cerebral Palsy (not sure two reports say different things). She recently did receive a wheelchair that is very large and does not fold. They cannot get that wheelchair into the house and is hard to take places with them. Their house has a lot of stairs and a very narrow area to get up to where they live. Their special needs request is:
a wheelchair that folds so she can use it in the house $395
a walker $100.00
a bed and a matress $178.00
As you can see she needs alot! Lets try to make this happen!

Lizbeth is my first child and also the other child I would like to try to fund. She is 9 years old and also lives in Ecuador. She is disabled also. In her request they said there is only one single bed in the house and it is uncomfortable for the three living there to sleep. So they requested:
a twin size bed, mattress, and bedding for $233.00
and a large wardrobe closet for $116.00


Heather from MAC and Google Groups is setting up a fundraiser on Firstgiving for Jessicas wheelchair. I will post the link as soon as I get it!
