Tuesday Treasure #44 Pervis Jackson, Jr. Autism Foundation

pjjraf

 

Mission:To provide a spoonful of comfort to the parents of children handicapped by autism and other disabilities.

Vision: Parents impacted positively which creates a paradigm shift in how they care for their children with autism and other disabilities.

Goal: To provide mini-grants to pay for services directly to parents.

Grants can be used for:

  • Camp Sessions
  • Respite of Parent's Choice
  • Cleaning Help
  • Cooking Help
  • Spa Day
  • Urgent Bills
  • Other Parent Needs

Higher income parents of a disabled child have an advantage that lower income parents do not. They can pay for these services themselves.

Therefore the foundation is open to parents who can show financial need, such as public assistance, Title 1, free lunch cards, etc.
