$10 Donation to Help Fund Parental Workshops

The Issue: Challenges of Raising Children with Disabilities

The parents of children with disabilities often face financial and time constraints above and beyond those regularly experienced by parents due to the extra care their children require. The transition to parenting a child with disabilities can make it difficult to operate in other aspects of life, especially for new parents. Future-oriented transitional workshops strive to ground and acclimate parents as they prepare to balance the unique challenges ahead with stabilizing their lives for themselves and their children.

The Campaign: Funding Transitional Workshop for Parents

If 50 people donate $10 to this Grassroots campaign, then Pause4Kids can fund five transitional workshops for the parents of children with disabilities. Pause4Kids’ founder, Keri Bowers, offers the Mapping Transitions workshop once a month. To ease their transition to caregivers, she helps parents to put goals on paper and to craft written plans based around health and safety, school and careers, and financial and personal security. The information in the meeting follows Keri’s workbook, Mapping Transitions to Your Child’s Future, which guides new parents step by step through this planning process. Each additional $100 raised will fund another workshop.
