Step up trick or treat night
Donation protected
Asking for donations to put towards purchasing candy and treats to be given out at the event.
I created the step up trick or treat night after reading a story of a boy with autism who was turned away from receiving candy because he can not say trick or treat. Because he is non verbal. It made me think of all the kids that probably don’t get to experience trick or treating due to medical conditions that prevent them for doing things I have done my whole life and that makes me sad.
Some kids are handicapped and they would need a ramp to get to the doors. Or some have diabetes and can not eat sugar. Many kids suffer from anxiety and going up to random doors might be a trigger. Or kids with autism or any other condition may prevent them for talking. also I have heard a lot of kids are too scared to go due to the costumes. There are so many more things I can think of but I’ll leave it at that.
I’m requesting help from family friends and the community to help give every kid a chance to experience trick or treating in a welcoming atmosphere filled with loving and caring people.
Any thing helps!
Thank you!
