Family Resources
I know that many of us are struggling financially due to therapy costs, medical costs, respite care, breakage, etc. It's always nice to find a way to save a few dollars that can be used for other needed services. If you happen to know of an organization that might be of help to other RAD families, please feel free to send me that information... so that it can be shared with others.
With a heart to help others and a generous spirit, Joe and Linda Wingo founded Angel Food Ministries in 1994 to provide food for friends and neighbors who were struggling financially. Today the Angel Food program now is helping provide food relief to more than 500,000 families each month.
