Hello Friends

The holiday season is almost here, and at ThisAbility, we’re so excited to once again offer our Annual Christmas Assistance Program! Each year, this program helps bring joy, hope, and holiday cheer to families in our community who are raising children with disabilities.

1. A completed application.

2. Parent or legal guardian must be the one applying.

3.At least one child with a disability/special needs diagnosis (ages 0–18). All siblings age 18 and under living in the same home may also qualify.

4.Demonstrated financial need.

5.Participation in at least two ThisAbility events, groups, or activities in 2024–2025.

6.Must live within 45 minutes of Chester, VA.
