Where's the Pitch????

As a single parent of 2 special needs children, it would be wonderful to have a yard that is accessable to both my children, my daughter is in a wheelchair but it's difficult getting her into the rocky yard with her wheelchair, and as a volunteer soccer coach it would be nice to have a level pitch for the kids to practice on as well. Soccer is a big part of our lives, my son who is Autistic has become very social due to the sport and my daughter loves to socialize with the parents of our team, this would be a great win for our family to be able to share the love of soccer and the outdoors. thank you so much for your time and consideration. The Hayes Family

We have lots of great friends, family, and co-workers.They didn't get tired of us asking their for votes, and passed it on to THEIR friends and family. This is a great community that we moved to almost 2 years ago, I just hope we can pay it forward.

Have YOU ever pushed a wheelchair over anything less than nice smooth pavement? Do YOUR kids have to practice soccer on anything but a level field? Let's help this family out!

Mark says ... on Tuesday, Jul 28 at 6:41 PM

This woman helps so many, it is her time now!

Andy says ... on Tuesday, Jul 28 at 5:55 PM

Yes Coach Hayes and her family definitely need and deserve a yard makeover. Coach Hayes volunteers her time to the community in many ways. It would be nice to be given back something she and her family would greatly appreciate and make the most of.

This wonderful young lady worked with my mom a few years ago and I know how such a hard worker she is and how good she is to her 2 kids. They need help so much please choose them for this new yard. I know my mom Janice would want you to have this!

Please help this young lady with a new front yard. I know for a fact how hard she works as a single mother with 2 special needs kids. She so does deserve to have this done for her kids. You have vote!

Traci says ... on Tuesday, Jul 28 at 9:21 AM

I’ve been in your yard and can see that it would be difficult to maneuver your daughter’s wheelchair in and for your son to run and play soccer without getting hurt. I think that your family is very deserving of this makeover. You have my vote!

Denise says ... on Tuesday, Jul 28 at 9:18 AM

This wonderful woman coached my daughter in soccer a couple of years back and does a great job! She deserves a boost to help her and her children! She has my vote!

April Eason says ... on Tuesday, Jul 28 at 8:48 AM

This special lady is my daughter Taylor Eason's soccer coach and she is a remarkable person but is very busy, but no matter how much she has going on she is ALWAYS making her soccer team smile and always so happy. She really deserves this. Good Luck

I think it is wonderful that you take the time to not only give to your children, but also to the community by coaching. You have my vote.

Leslie says ... on Tuesday, Jul 28 at 1:12 AM

As a mom of two children with special needs (one of which is Autism) I commend you for all that you do, and you definitely have my vote!

Laura Melnick says ... on Monday, Jul 27 at 8:25 PM

I think it would be wonderful for her to be able to share a wonderful yard with her children. How wonderful of the mother to be a soccor coach to do everything in her power to help her son with his social issues. Good Luck!!
