Pay Assessment Fees for Special Needs Children

At this time of the year children everywhere are writing their Christmas lists and are hoping that Santa will leave that special toy for them under the tree on Christmas morning. We can all remember the excitement and anticipation, of wishing for a new toy, the latest doll with all the accessories or that must have gadget.  We can also remember the look of sheer delight and smiles on children’s faces when they open their presents and the fun and enjoyment that special gift gives them.

But for underprivileged families who have special needs children it’s not that easy or straightforward. Often the cost of giving their child the things that will bring enjoyment, fun and pleasure is too much for them to afford. Gifts that are suitable for children with additional needs to be able to use, or enjoy safely, can cost as much as ten times the price of a regular item.

The future of special needs children in St. Lucia is uncertain as they have lost government funding which provided a special needs health assessor who provided health assessments to special needs children, Raise Your Voice Saint Lucia Inc believes in giving families who have children with special needs the chance to find a better life together, not just at Christmas but all through the year. On December 22^nd, we delivered personal care items and nonperishable foods to families of special needs children and during the last three months assisted with getting health assessments which is quite costly for poor and needy families.  

By making a donation to our fundraising drive you contributed to making a difference to a child’s life and help families find and afford health assessments and personal care items such as pampers, wipes, skin care, milk and other food items that mean so much to their child.
