In the course of working on purchasing new equipment for Ben, I made contact with someone who developed a list of funding sources for families. She would prefer not to be named - we will just call her Angel. Angel did this on her own, to help the families who do not have a way to pay for the equipment their children desperately need.If you know of others we can include on this list, please add in the comments section or email me directly. The web addresses and information have been checked as of today, October 24, 2014.

The Kyle Busch Foundation is
dedicated to providing essential tools for less fortunate children throughout
the country. KBF will concentrate its efforts on assisting organizations in
fostering a safe environment for children to live, learn and challenge
themselves as well as seeing that day to day needs are met.
In August of 2006, Kyle Busch was
invited to visit a children's home near Grand Rapids Michigan. St. John's home
provides housing and structure to children ages 6-18 that have been taken out
of their previous living situation for various reasons.
Kyle accepted the opportunity to
meet and spend some time with the children living at St. John's, a decision
that would forever change him. His experience provided him with valuable
insight into how these extraordinary kids are working to overcome the challenges
in their everyday lives. He realized the things most people take for granted
are the very things that these children need; a safe home where they encouraged
to learn and taught the skills to achieve their dreams.
Shortly after his visit, Kyle made
the decision to start the Kyle Busch Foundation to provide assistance to
organizations like St. John's and the children who live there.
There are children's homes
throughout the country just like St. John's, most of which are in need of
assistance. With your help, the Kyle Busch Foundation can help make a
difference in the lives of these children.

Variety
The Children’s Charity
Website:

Coverage:
National
The chapters of Variety are a multi-million dollar philanthropic organization with
locations throughout the United States. Starting with a baby left on the
doorsteps of a movie theater in 1928, we have continued to be a group of local
business men and women, many of whom hail from the theater and movie business,
reaching out to children in need. Today, through the efforts of our
enthusiastic volunteers and generous corporate contributors, we remain true to
our heritage by bringing children real, tangible help.
During
2014, Variety of the United States continues our outreach by developing a
strongly supported national program to assist children in every community:
Variety's National Mobility Program
provides much needed assistance to children with mobility concerns. Over the
years, we have found that these children desperately want to be active members
of their communities. But they need what most of us take for granted: access.
For children with disabilities, this means having the freedom to go where they
want to, either on their own, or if they need assistance, reducing the impact
they make on those helping them. With the advent of many new mobility
technologies, this access is becoming available to more and more children. The
goal of our Mobility Program is to see that they get it.
