Help My BLIND SON Play Ball Safely!!!

Donation protected
I AM TRYING TO TURN A BAD SITUATION INTO A GOOD OUTCOME.... Richie is my 11 year old BLIND SON. Last month Richie had an accident while at an after school program.  That afternoon, when Richie was playing kickball he ran into a basketball pole.  A pole that is cemented into the ground.  Of course, as you could imagine a moving object versus a secured, anchored immobile object is not going to turn out well.  After spending my evening in the dentist and ER I was finally able to go home. Even after all the trauma, Richie never once blamed the school or the child that was running with him.  The school corrected their immediate issue and padded the poles at the school. But after a meeting with all the teachers, and principal I have expressed my concern that Indont want him limited from anything. Treat him like all other kids....... Yes he got hurt but lwts make it safe and provide an equal opportunity. MY GOAL- is to RAISE ENOUGH MONEY to purchase a beep baseball setup.  For a 1 base set its 1700 then there's two additional bases that are 1190. I assume with tax and shipping it will be around 3500. I want Richie to have an equal opportunity as any other child. This set will follow him through the school system and then stay in the WCCUSD when he graduates years later. So all children can use. PLEASE, PLEASE, HELP US!!!! THANK YOU!!!
