How We Help

For almost 30 years the Midwest Special Needs Trust Charitable Trust program has been helping people across our state who are disabled and living below the federal poverty level. The poverty rate for Missourians age 21-64 with disabilities is a shocking 31.7%. We receive requests for assistance every day. The Charitable Trust program focuses on addressing unmet needs not covered by public benefits or other community assistance. It’s exciting to see the impact our organization has made in the lives of Missouri’s most vulnerable! Please donate today!

• Your money helps people like Lily. Lily is nearly blind and unable to work any longer due to progressive eye disease. Tasks most of us take for granted – living alone, preparing our food, reading mail and prescription labels have become impossible for her. Lily struggles to live on a budget of only $753 a month from her Social Security disability benefits. One donation was enough to purchase a device made specifically for extreme vision loss like Lily’s. This has been life changing for her! She is now confident she is taking the correct medications and has regained some of her independence.
  
• Your money helps children like Justin. Justin can unbuckle his car seat and open the door of a moving car, endangering himself and others. He is unable to understand the consequences and his parents needed help. One donation made the difference! A special needs vest allows Justin to ride safely in the car and keep him upright in the seat. This secure system lets his parents relax and drive without distraction!
  
  This past year MSNT received over 800 requests from Missourians with disabilities living in poverty. Please join us in addressing the needs of many people just like Lily and many children just like Justin. 100% of your tax-deductible donation will be used to improve the lives of Missouri’s disabled in need. Thank you! Your gift will make a huge difference.
