Help with the costs and logistics that insurance leaves behind: equipment, travel to specialists in Las Vegas, and supplies families cannot cover alone.
Life Skills Club
Thursdays 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. at the PDOP building, run by PDOP. Cooking, money, safety, friendship, and independence for ages 7 to adult.
