Problem

There are thousands of children and teens with spinal cord injuries and diseases who have never met anyone else going through similar experiences. Without In Touch with Kids, these children may never meet anyone else they can share their experiences and challenges with. In Touch with Kids assists children and families with computer equipment, internet connections and other assistance to allow them to provide peer support to each other regardless of their geographic location.

The Gift

Giving children with spinal cord injuries and diseases and their families the opportunity to connect, share and support each other, regardless of geographical boundaries.

One connection between two children with similar experiences and no one locally to share them with.

$1000 allows us to coordinate one match and provide preliminary support as the children begin to communicate with each other
