For 2011, we adopted three families with children with special needs beginning in September through the Macomb Infant Preschool Program (MIPP).  We were pleased to be able to provide the basic needs of our families this winter.  We raised and spent over $8,200 with the estimated retail value of approximately $10,800.  Gifts included clothing, hats, gloves, shoes and boots for every family member.  We provided learning toys for the children, diapers, wipes, non-perishable food and gift cards totaling almost $4,250 for perishable food items for our three adopted families as well as an additional 27 families.

Peters School, serving a combined total of about 1,000 students with special needs ages 3-26 in Macomb County, each received a $1,000 grant from Jamie’s Smiles.  These programs intend to purchase a positioning chair/seat, feeding device for therapeutic feeding, a pediatric functional collection for stretching designed to enhance motor skills, as well as communication and motor skill growth teaching devices.
