Having a child with a rare syndrome is full of challenges. One of those challenges should never be telling your child they can't use the swings. Wherever kids are laughing, playing and full of joy, no child should ever be excluded. Special Needs Swings allows children like Alex to be apart of our community - And put simply, every child should have a swing to play on. This Go Fund Me will work to raise money for the specific purchase of these swings. All donations will be given directly to the Newburyport Commission on Disability (NCOD) to work with the parks commission on this initiative. Please help us to support our children with needs and give them the ability to swing at parks! We thank you for your support! 

Also a special thanks to the Edwards Family for Lobbying to get this initiative in front of the town: See Link

We put a goal of $2,000. However, these swings are unfortunately very expensive.  Roughly $600-$1K each. Realistically the total initiative would need to generate approximately $10K.  This goal of $2K would be a great start!
