Making Life Better for Children with Special Needs
I’M LOOKING FOR HELP WITH…
Our Mission
Reagan’s Journey exists to make life better for
children with special needs in (3) ways.
1. Pediatric Equipment & Supply Closet to make sure families/caregivers/therapists have access to the right equipment to help a child reach their full potential. Often times, insurance will only cover one piece of equipment every five years and the average wait time to receive a custom piece of equipment is 6 months. That is a hardship to families when children experience growth spurts and developmental changes. We’ve been able to partner with many local agencies, therapists, and hospital social workers to keep our closet full of equipment and supplies.
2. Family Events that are meant to create an environment where each child’s uniqueness is not only welcomed, but celebrated! We want families to be themselves and enjoy each other without reservation. These events become a fantastic springboard to facilitate friendships and create a sense of community.
3. Resources: We’ve been operating our online resource group since 2012. The group has become a hub to share resources and information as well as link arms with families facing similar experiences with disability. It has doubled in size from 2022-2023. We also pride ourselves in offering a “Resource Sheet” during our in-person appointments and with social workers/therapists.
Here’s what we’ve done so far
APPOINTMENTS SCHEDULED IN 2022
We held 285 appointments in 2022. Each aappointment averages $1,500 worth of durable medical equipment and medical supplies. WE are ESSENTIAL!
WORTH OF MEDICAL EQUIPMENT AND SUPPLIES SENT OUT SINCE 2017
This number is so crucial. It’s the amount of money we’ve saved families from spending as a result of utilizing the Closet.
