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.
