What If This Happened To You?

Think about the last time you reached for the cell phone…took a drink of water…shook the hand of an acquaintance…felt a hug from a loved one…

For most of us, these simple actions go without thought. But for a group of very special people, these are extraordinary accomplishments. Now for just a moment, imagine the loss of hope that happens for a young person, a student who has goals and dreams.  One accident happens then your life as you know it changes in an instant and you can no longer do even simple, everyday tasks.  Now imagine the impact this could have on a family? The schedules or even your home environment that will have to change to support the new challenges you face? Who do you turn to for answers? What’s the next step?

The answer is Missouri KIDS! (Missourians Who Kare for Injured and Disabled Students).

Unfortunately, those who suffer disabling injuries while engaged in sports-related activities are merely a statistic to some. But to those directly involved, paralytic injuries are catastrophic. What follows an accident is devastating to everyone involved. That’s why Missouri KIDS was founded. Our mission is to provide assistance to young student athletes and their families through the purchase of special equipment and to give them the resources they need to make adjustments and lifestyle changes-assistance that is not available through most insurance or other organizations.

We’d like to help all those in need, but we’re limited without your support. Please take a moment to consider how easy it is for you to navigate through our website. The students we help don’t always have that “luxury.” Catastrophic accidents can happen to anyone and will completely alter their life. Your generous contribution will benefit those who desperately need your assistance. With your support, we can help alleviate the burden of post-accident expenses and assist with giving our recipients the best chance at adapting and rehabilitating after their injuries. Missouri KIDS and Missouri’s kids, thank you!
