May We Help’s Tinker Toy Box Program
All children learn through play. It increases cognition and overall development but kids with disabilities often don’t have the fine motor skills needed to use the toys designed for their age group.
The May We Help Tinker Toy Box program solves this problem by providing free switch-adapted toys to children with disabilities for the holidays.
The more donations May We Help receives, the more toys they can purchase and modify, giving the gift of play to as many children as possible this holiday season.
About May We Help
Sometimes, a device is all that stands in the way of an individual with a disability achieving independence or pursuing their passion. When that device is not commercially available, May We Help’s volunteers step in to design, build and deliver custom devices at no cost to hundreds of recipients every year.
Because the needs of each person are unique, the May We Help volunteer team of engineers, industrial designers, inventors, welders, woodworkers, seamstresses, doctors, occupational and physical therapists step in to design and create custom solutions, allowing individuals with special needs to engage in and pursue their passions.
Volunteers receive a challenging philanthropic outlet to exercise their creativity and leverage their highly practical problem-solving skills. Donors make it possible for a person or family needing an impossible solution to receive something virtually priceless, for free.
May We Help was founded by Bill Wood, Chip’s father, in 2003 along with Bill Diemling and Bill Sand. Sadly, Bill Wood passed away in the fall of 2010, but Chip continues his commitment and vision to the May We Help mission. A portion of net profits are donated annually and the number of people assisted to date is too many to count.
