Patrick Yeatts for King

I am so excited to have been selected as a member of the Krewe of Vulcan for Kid One Transport's Mardi Gras Masquerade event this year! The Krewe is made up of generous men and women who have committed to raise funds for Kid One. The top male and female fundraiser will be crowned King and Queen at the event on February 12, 2016. Please help me support Kid One and their wonderful mission!

The mission of Kid One Transport is to transport children and expectant mothers with limited or no means of transportation to medical care, including doctor visits, hospital visits and therapy sessions.

Since 1997, Kid One has been fulfilling this mission as the only nonprofit of its kind in the state. For most of us, transportation is a given. We enjoy the luxury of our personal vehicles and travel from one place to the next on a daily basis. Unfortunately, in every community throughout this state, children and families cannot access vital healthcare services due to a lack of safe, reliable transportation.

Kid One is committed to removing transportation as a barrier to quality health care. We strive daily to ensure that the most vulnerable and needy among us can receive the care they need regardless of their circumstances.

Kid One currently serves 43 counties in Alabama. In 2014, Kid One provided almost 23,380 transports. That means 23,380 medical visits for children and expectant mothers who otherwise would have not received the care they needed!

With your help, we can ensure that Kid One can provided vitally needed transportation to every child or expectant mother who needs medical, dental, vision, mental health/counseling, therapy, prenatal or other non-emergency medical care. Together we can build healthier children, healthier families and a healthier Alabama!
