🏈✨ Friday Night Lights, made safer thanks to SOS!

It’s a little-known fact that SOS supports Kentucky schools by providing first aid and athletic training supplies—items schools often can’t afford. In the past year alone, we've donated over $24,000 in supplies to programs at Doss, Jeffersontown, Valley, Pleasure Ridge Park, Nelson County, and Davies County—impacting 3,290+ student athletes.

These supplies don’t just treat and prevent injuries—they also help students in sports medicine programs learn hands-on skills right on the sidelines. From stabilizing injuries to learning proper wrapping techniques, students are gaining real-world training while keeping athletes safe.

Here’s to healthier athletes and future trainers—powered by community support!💙

Too many Kentucky neighbors are still waiting for disaster relief that never arrived. That’s why agencies like FEMA Federal Emergency Management Agency and Kentucky Emergency Management are turning to SOS for solutions.

Case managers recently came to us with stories that were heartbreaking: a man with paralysis stranded in a hotel without a working wheelchair, an elderly woman in temporary housing without mobility aids, and a man with Alzheimer’s falling each night without a hospital bed.

When traditional aid runs out, SOS can step in with the medical equipment people desperately need to regain safety, dignity, and independence. We’re honored to be a trusted resource in Kentucky’s long recovery process. 💙

Thank You for Giving for Good! 💙

Because of your generosity, SOS is able to be there for neighbors in crisis—like Baby Nathan. Born just last month with a chronic condition, his family couldn’t afford the expensive feeding pump and supplies he needed to come home from the hospital. With one call to SOS, they received everything required to care for him—bringing comfort and relief to this precious newborn and his family.

Your gifts make stories like Nathan’s possible. Thank you.🫶

Because of friends like you, SOS is ready every day to respond—whether it’s schools, families, or neighbors in crisis. 💙

Please give today during and help us be ready for the next call for help. 🫶

Early donating is now open!💥

Supporting SOS means helping women like Johnetta, a young mom and college student who came to an SOS Wheelchair Clinic after her chair broke and insurance refused repairs. “It would break down while I was out and I’d have to crawl and drag it.” Thanks to SOS supporters, our techs fixed her chair on the spot—getting this busy mom back to school, work, and motherhood with dignity and independence. 💙

SOS was honored to support medical practitioner Asia Fresse Blackwell, who lives full-time in Guatemala, earlier this year by providing 200 lbs. critical medical supplies—from blood pressure cuffs and pulse oximeters to OBGYN, diabetic, dental, and surgical supplies.

With these tools, Asia can continue delivering care and hope to families in Guatemala who otherwise go without. 💙

Together, we are filling the world with Health & Hope—thank you for making stories like this possible! 🌍
