Donation Helps Clinics from Closing
Giving Children Hope provided Transitions, a nonprofit that provides free services to adults with disabilities in Blanding, Utah, with a truckload of medical supplies last week. The founder of the agency, Sandy Asbury called to share that the supplies that were donated to their local clinics was enough to cover them for two years and helped save several small clinics in the area from shutting their doors.
“On of the directors of one of the programs was reduced to tears. He is so grateful,” Sandy said. “He said there is enough product to last [the clinics] for two years. It’s stuff we don’t have and can’t afford to buy… I wanted you to know that it was so greatly appreciated.”
The nonprofit serves clients in a Navajo reservation in San Juan County, one of the poorest in the nation, where the median income is $13,000 a year. They have 30 years experience working with agencies in that area such as the Navajo and Ute Tribes, Vocational Rehab, the San Juan School District.
Giving Children Hope works to bring other nonprofits the supplies they need to reduce their costs and funnel monies into other program areas so that they may better serve their clients.
Sandy said that the supplies were enough to triple their funds and spend money in areas they need to the most.
As she wrapped her thoughts she wanted to send GCHope’s donors a message: “We do want you to know that it does make a difference.”
