Special Needs Education

Donation protected
Devon Smith (Moo Moo) is a Penn State Football Letterman('09-'11) who is currently in need of our help. His son, Messius has been diagnosed with autism and Devon is trying to ensure he receives a proper education and attention while in school. 

Messius is a 5 year old kindergarten student, he is currently attending his public school but has run into issues in the classroom due to his diagnosis along with the new structure in daily school life due to COVID-19. Devon had been working and saving money in order to ensure his son would receive the proper attention and education while attending school.  He was able to save a portion of the $8,000 tuition to send Messius to Kennedy Krieger Institute before the global pandemic put Devon out of work for several months which interfered with his savings plan.

We'd like to raise the money in order for Messius to attend Kennedy Krieger Institute in Baltimore, MD. Kennedy Krieger is a school that focuses on improving the lives of children and young adults with pediatric developmental disabilities and disorders of the brain, spinal cord and musculoskeletal system. 

We know these are tough times for many people around the world now and Devon and Messius will be appreciative of any help that can be offered.
