Plus One provides grants to children and adults with neurological diseases and disorders. Usually this means individuals, but sometimes our grants can help whole families. Thanksgiving is often a time spent with family, and we wanted to highlight a family that you've helped with your donations.
Cara and Matt both are parents to three young children. They also live with MS. We were able to provide a grant to get Cara and Matt a membership to the YMCA. With this membership, not only can Cara and Matt focus on their own health and wellness, they can also set a great example for their children.
Please consider making a donation today so we can help more individuals and families like Cara and Matt

Client Spotlight: Ava Spier
Ava is nine years old and has both vision and hearing loss. This has lead to motor, speech, and cognitive delays. However, with your help, Plus One Foundation has been able to provide Ava with a grant to participate in hippotherapy - therapeutic horseback riding. This is an activity that builds new neural pathways and is also something that Ava really enjoys! Ava gets to spend a couple hours a week working on skills that will help her make friends and perform everyday activities, all while spending time with horses - one of her favorite animals!
Thank you for your support. It helps us help people like Ava every day.
