* About the Trust Fund for Kids with Special Needs...

As many of you know, my husband Mike & I operate a non-profit charitable organization for medically fragile & special needs children of Southern New Jersey called the “NJ Pediatric Patients’ Charitable Trust Fund”(NJPPCTF)…quite a mouthful, so we usually call it the “Kids’ Trust” (much better! ) 

We began doing small fundraisers, many years ago for a small group of children with medical problems and developmental delays who needed things that made a big difference in their quality of life (& ability to “just be kids”) – things like communication and adaptive play items, modifications in the home that would allow a child to be at home vs. in a facility, adaptations for educational activities & much, much more.  These areas were not covered by insurance, and were not supported by any other charitable organization (still true today!).  This small beginning eventually turned into a source of assistance for children throughout southern NJ, since the need was so great. 

 As you can imagine, the number of children & programs applying for grants from the “NJ Pediatric Patients’ Charitable Trust Fund” (NJPPCTF) continues to grow at an incredible rate every year.  We are still very small on the organizational end however (just the 2 of us in our spare time), however, the list of children & programs applying for grants continue to grow at an incredible rate…that’s why We Need Your Help!

 *Visit our website www.sjkidstrust.org and see what we are all about.  If you feel guided to join us in any way, large or small, in our mission to make the lives of these children a little brighter, we would be deeply grateful...Have a beautiful, blessed day!
