KIDS HELPING KIDS
Our FOURTH ANNUAL FREE CELEBRATION will be extra unique
and fun!
What a great opportunity for the community to come together
for children who are less fortunate! As we honor and look
to share hope and support to thousands of foster children,
it is also a great opportunity for KIDS TO HELP KIDS and
see firsthand the smile on their faces!
As I mentioned, the event is free, however, we just ask
that KIDS be an "Angel To A Child Less Fortunate ...
BRING A TOY, A DOLLAR, A SMILE."
These items will be put into the 500 backpacks that Walmart
has donated. KJ's Carts are being filled with immediate
items of need for children up to 18 years of age.
We have been working diligently to collect these items
and we appreciate your support. This year, TEN Foster agencies,
including the STATE OF NEBRASKA and IOWA will be inviting
the thousands of children in the foster system. The FIVE
AWESOME CHRISTIAN BANDS will surely be entertaining and
The Honorable Judge Johnson has quite a message to share.
We are bringing in NEW BMX Tricks Performers and amazing
Skateboarding talent. We have clowns, LIMO RIDES for children,
bounce houses and much, much more.
Visit our website for further information (www.kjscartsforkids.com).
We would also be happy to provide you with flyers to share
at your place of business or with friends and churches.
Thank you!

If you would like to attend the presentation and/or have
your child tested,
please send an email to strongroots2008@gmail.com
If you have any questions, please call Jynell at 402-697-1245
Do you have a child who has learning difficulties?
Have you tried various remedies with little or no success?
Do you have a gifted student who needs help with daily
activities?
Do you suspect a problem but are just not sure?
Carol Matulka is from Wichita, Kansas. She provides parents
with the information and testing they need to determine
precisely what their child’s learning problem is (vision,
hearing, diet, etc.). The results of the testing enable
Carol to determine an individual plan of action to immediately
begin to work on the problem area(s).
Carol has worked with local homeschool families with great
success.
“Our daughter had been incorrectly diagnosed with
dyslexia a few years ago and all our efforts to help her
had failed. When I first spoke with Carol about our situation,
she immediately recognized that our daughter’s problem
was not dyslexia. Subsequent testing showed a severe vision
problem which greatly hindered her ability to learn information.
We have been working with a Developmental Optometrist and
with SOI materials to help retrain our daughter’s
brain. She is having amazing results with her math skills,
organizational skills and increased memory and reading skills.
We are so grateful to Carol and SOI for getting our daughter
back on track and helping her to develop the necessary skills
to be successful now and in the future.”
