Fund-a-Child

Having a child with a challenge or handicap often places a financial burden on a family. Too often therapy is not covered by insurance. Therefore, it is the goal of Special Strides to help provide all children an opportunity to experience our magic regardless of their financial Happiness at the Farmstatus.

Fund-a-Child is a sponsorship program that is part of The Steven Werthan Memorial Fund. Fund-a-Child provides financial assistance to those families whose children would not otherwise be able to receive therapy at Special Strides.

Your donation will go directly to benefit these children and their families. The greatest gift in life is giving from your heart and helping others.
