Serving 28 counties in Western Pennsylvania the Community Page will feature highlights from each county as received. Our feature for this edition is: ELK County and the Sandra Jo Effort. Two years ago, a group of caring individuals came together to raise money to help build an accessible room for Zach, a child with spina bifida. The effort was a success and now, this same group of people are at it again. Sandra Jo Pennington is a twelve year old girl from Johnsonburg who has cerebral palsy . Her condition requires on-going full-time care due to the severity of her disability. She cannot walk, speak, and must be tube fed. The goal is to raise funds and, 1) build a room which can serve as an accessible bedroom and place for therapy, 2) build an accessible bathroom, and 3) build an attached garage - for days when the weather is bad. Project donations may be in the form of money, materials, labor and expertise. The Johnsonburg United Methodist Church will be acting as the non-profit liaison for the Sandra Jo Effort. For more information contact the SBAWP. If you would like to contribute you can make your check payable to: "A Room For Sandra Jo"
c/o United Methodist Youth Group If you know of a special event worth noting, give the Spina Bifida Association a call today.
