Kid One 2017 Krewe of Vulcan

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!

I am an Events Coordinator at Cantina Laredo in Uptown and on the Kid One Transport Junior Board. I have a passion for serving and helping others and I am honored to be apart of such an exceptional group of individuals that have a vision for the continual growth and success of this incredible organization that enhances the lives of so many.

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 24, 2017. 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.

In 2016, Kid One provided almost 22,852 transports. That means 22,852 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 provides 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!
