Support Essentials for Jay and Friends

9/29/2024

Hello. My name is Jana Brown. I live in Mocksville, NC, and most of you know my very special big brother, Jay. He is living in Morganton, NC, which was hit hard by Hurricane Helene. He lives in a home called Air Park. Air Park is a program under Comserv. Comserv provides resources and tools to help the lives of persons with disabilities and their families by expanding opportunities for maximum growth and independence; promoting self-determination in inclusive and diverse environments; and providing services/supports for successfully achieving positive desired outcomes through individualized services. They have been a true blessing for Jay as he has thrived under their care.

I have learned that Jay and his three housemates are safe in a hotel, but they are in need of supplies.

Jay and his friends all have specific special needs that are difficult to manage without supplies. For example, their food needs to be pureed, pull-ups are used frequently, trash bags... all these items and more are just little things but are a big part of their care. They don't have enough caregivers with them to legally leave and get the supplies themselves.

I am working to retrieve some of their immediate needs and have started this fundraiser to provide some relief for them in the days to come. My goal is to raise $1000 for Jay and each of his housemates as their independent needs are very different. This would be a total of $4000. Money raised here will go directly to Air Park, specifically for these four special people, to help with the supplies needed for their personal care and wellbeing.
