er passion began at the tender age of seven when LITA MEYER realized that kids with special needs were unable to participate in playground activities, due to the lack of handicapped accessible playground equipment. What started out as a question "why can't all kids play?" has become a mission and burning desire to purchase and install all-inclusive playground in her local community...and beyond.
LITA'S DREAM
e jumped into action, and immediately formed a board knowing we could not do this alone. Over the last seven years we have done multiple fundraisers including bake sales, bbq events, and a lot of hand shaking. This has been a labor of LOVE to say the least. We were met with obstacles along the way. Turns out the road to purchasing this equipment was tougher then we originally expected. But, it did not shake us. In January 2023, we partnered with Fun Abounds, a playground equipment company specializing in handicapped accessible products. And are proud to announce that we are on the cusp of breaking ground for our first installment of handicapped playground equipment located in our very own Needville, Texas.
Lita is entering her senior year at Needville High School. Lita is an A student, participates in athletics, and several other extra-curricular activities. She is also very involved in her church activities and takes her role as big sister very serious. She is loved by her family and community.
We are just getting started and that is where you come in! Remember when I said we could not do this alone? Just one piece of this equipment costs upwards of $60,000. Just think about this…when you take your kids to the playground and hear them giggle and see them smile as they swing on the swings, slide down the slides with little to no effort, and realize the magnitude of what an inclusive playground would mean to children with limited abilities. “What if everyone could play.”
LOOK AT WHAT WE ARE DOING!
