Family Assistance
Family Assistance
Parents caring for special needs children can find themselves in a tough situation. While their child needs care 24 hours a day 7 days a week, the parent also needs to provide for themselves and their children which requires being away from their children. |
How To Help His Wings
As you can imagine family assistance comes in many forms. Sue is putting together daycare cooperatives that allow multiple families with special needs kids to care for one another’s children while the other works to earn money.
To make ends meet families benefit from everything from clothing and blankets to food and cleaning supplies. A basic home care packages of rice, beans, eggs, tortillas, soap, toilet paper can be provided once a week for the month for just $80 per family.
Providing for some of their needs allows the family to dedicate what resources they do have to providing medical care for their special needs child and transportation to bring their child to His Wings Ranch for Sue to provide physical therapy.
Community Youth Center
One way His Wings Ranch is helping is through the creation of their new youth center. They are transforming one of the portable structures on the ranch into a place for typical and special needs kids to spend time together in a safe and nurturing environment. They could use recreational items like a ping pong table, pool table, balls for sports, a fire pit, tables and chairs.
Home Projects
Building Bathroom Houses
We have partnered with house building organizations like Yugo and families like Vicky’s have been blessed to receive a basic house to keep them safe and warm. (That’s why she is looking up and smiling in the photo). While these houses are a huge step up for the families, they lack running water. The families would benefit from a basic shower building next to the house so that they can bathe and use the bathroom.
Patios and Fences
Some children receiving therapy at His Wings Ranch are emotionally and socially delayed. Even when they are at home they need constant supervision so that they don’t wander away from the house and get lost in the Mexican streets. They would benefit from being able to play outside in the fresh air, up off of the dirt and in an enclosed area to keep them safe.
These children and their caregivers would benefit from a walled in outdoor space (yard) off of the dirt (Patio) that is attached to the house so that the kids can play outside in safety. We are looking for assistance in building patios with fences on the back of existing houses.
