We welcome your Donation and Help

Donate

Over 95% of Marjorie Hughes Fund’s money goes directly to the students we serve. For example, $79.99 will pay for an eye exam and a pair of glasses; $99.00 pays for a required school entry physical exam; $50 can purchase a 10-day supply of most antibiotics.

To help more children, we need your support.  Just a few dollars can go a long way to provide the targeted and direct assistance that means so much to vulnerable children.

  • Currently, assistance averages $150/child

  • As many as 5,000 children may be eligible for some assistance from the Fund

  • The need for assistance grows as health care costs rise

How You Can Help

We are currently in need of assistance with technical and management aspects of running a non-profit, such as building and maintaining websites and social media pages; using spreadsheets or accounting programs such as QuickBooks; or planning and executing fundraisers such as bands at local bars, or restaurant profit-sharing events. We also seek advisors and Board members, especially those with connections to the medical, dental, mental health, community health, immigration, non-profit, legal, or medical insurance fields. We also welcome speakers of the following languages: Spanish, Arabic, Bengali, Amharic and Mongolian.

Please note our volunteers do not work directly with APS students.
