A new project in Schuylkill County is aiming to provide services for children in need.
The "Community Solution6 Project, started by Rob Hampton, is looking to provide services for children, where their parents may not be able to provide them with the items or treatments that they may desperately need.
The project started when Rob's daughter's school posted a flyer asking for anyone who could help donate a breathing treatment machine for a child who had asthmas. He would also see children wearing coats that looked like they've been passed down for years.
Hampton had done other charitable projects over the years which gave him the knowledge of starting this new project.
How the project works is parents email or write the organization state what their child needs and then the organization will negotiate with companies/doctors/business/etc. to get the items they need. A board of directors will meet monthly to discuss requests.
"For example. Say a child needs prescription glasses. They email us and we negotiate with a local eye doctor and we pay the doctor directly. Then the parent just brings the child in and they get the exam and the glasses." says Hampton.
The organization is still looking for people for their board of directors which already consists of local radio and TV personalities, Musicians, and Business owners.
