Speech and Ot Therapy | Cost to fully fund this application: 897.00 Modest Needs Points

The figure above includes the cost of fulfillment.

I am requesting help to pay for my son's speech and occupational therapy fees that are overdue. Both my children were very sick in October and I had to take one of them to the hospital on 4 different occassions and the other one once, followed up by doctors and specialist appointments and the necessary medications.

The extra $1200 that I spent in October made me fall behind on the speech and occupational therapy payments for my son. I need to pay because I don't want to lose his services.

Thank you for any assistance that you can provide.

Testimonial

This person has left the following thank you note:

Thank you, Thank you, from our hearts to yours, not only will your generosity make an immediate difference in the life of my son because he will be able to continue with his therapy. From the timethat my son turned a year and he started having health problems we have have had to change our lifes to make sure he had the medications and therapies that he needed even if it meant going without, my two other children who are 4 and 8 have adjusted and they understand that they might not be able to get something their friends have but they know how why mommy works so much and why money is spent the way that it is, which means obligations first and then if something is left we can get a treat such as a trip to McDonalds or Chuckie Cheese, they understand that their sacrafices directly affect the quality of life for their brother. I have always worked hard and have faith that things will be ok so I have never had to ask for help before. When my two children got sick this October it felt as if my 8 year old daughter and I lived in the hospital,we were there so much, fortunately everything turned out well and the kids got better which was the most important thing. Then came the bills and the stress, I didn't know what I was going to do with the overdue bills and then a friend referred me to the modest needs website. I cannot believe it. A giant burden has been lifted from my shoulders and my son will be able to continue to receive the therapy that he needs. Thank you to Modest Needs, what your foundation does is bring hope to those of us who don't know what we are going to do, when all hope is lost you are there to help us through difficult times. Of course I want to give the utmost gratitude to all the people who contributed, there aren't enough words to express how grateful we are, you have helped us so much. I will never forget your generousity and I plan(I don't want to say hope because as soon as I am able to, I plan to donate to modest needs and be the one to give hope to someone else.
