About April Holmes Foundation, Inc.
The April Holmes Foundation, Inc began is a 501(c) 3, non-profit, tax exempt organization (www.aprilholmes.com/Foundation) was developed by April Holmes after realizing the need for people with disabilities to have additional resources to assist in their journey of life. Many adults don’t have adequate health care to cover medical costs and equipment needed for them to live their disabled lives successfully. Many disabled youth desire to have a life of sports, but struggle with finding adaptive equipment. Additionally, we encourage the education, employment, and empowerment over a sedentary lifestyle for all those living with disabilities whereby they don’t rely on a lifetime of dependence on government assistance. Therefore, we provide guidance and assistance in the following areas: securing housing, supplementing their educational funding, securing employment, enhancing athletic experiences, accessing mental and physical health care, providing assistance for developmental camps, and developing and maintaining a social support system. The mission of the April Holmes Foundation, Inc. is to enhance the life experiences of those with disabilities and promote self-sufficiency.
