Boyd is an 18-year-old man, who has an intellectual disability and suffers from frequent seizures. He lives with his parents and some of his numerous siblings. He graduated high school this past June.
Boyd is typically a happy child who loves to be around his immediate and extended family. He enjoys riding in cars, playing with children and going out into the community.
He and his family would greatly appreciate any help with food, household items, toys or a gift card for gas. Boyd comes from a large family and would be grateful for any gift this season.
Through Christmas Eve, The Garden Island will share daily, front-page stories about families and individuals (we don’t use their real names) facing challenges and who would appreciate a little help.
The Christmas Fund is an avenue for everyone to provide that assistance. Donations are used by Zonta Club members to purchase gift certificates that are in turn distributed to families and individuals through social-service agencies.
Each donation is accounted for and recorded. There are no administrative costs involved, and money goes directly to provide for those in need of Christmas presents and groceries.
If you hold a fundraiser for the Christmas Fund, let us know and we’ll spread the word. Anyone making a donation of $200 or more can have their picture published in TGI.
Donations may be made by way of the website, Zonta-Kaua‘i.org, or checks can be made payable to The Zonta Club of Kaua‘i Foundation, P.O. Box 3032, Lihu‘e, HI 96766.
