PADDD is a fund in the Community Foundation of Carroll County.Your donations will allow us to expand the outreach of our trauma prevention educational programs for the betterment of public safety. We have also started a "Helping Hands" a program to help breast cancer patients who work in health care. We are currently helping to support a number of breast cancer patients who need support in their battle against breast cancer. I am currently walking this road myself and have had the pleasure of meeting many pink sisters. My cancer required chemotherapy, surgery & radiation. For healthcare workers, it is almost impossible to do all that and work full time. Our goal is to provide grants to help with the costs of getting well. This can be for food, gas, bills and much more.  With the fees from this class and kind donors we hope to be able to do more in the future because no one should fight this fight alone.

Another grant is a safe shower for Judy. She is a survivor of a traumatic brain injury and is living alone in a condo. Her shower is outdated and she needs help to get a new one. Money donated her for her will go directly into a fund to purchase a handicapped shower for her. She has been a speaker for us since the 1990's and she has saved hundreds of thousands of people by sharing her story.
