From your time visiting Kyle's Foundation website, we are sure that you know that we believe had Kyle been secured in a 5 point harness car seat rather than his booster seat, with only a seat belt securing both him and the booster, his chances of surviving that terrible crash would have been much higher. Much as we wish we could turn back the clock on that day, to have had the knowledge that there were other options available to us to keep our son safe and alive, we cannot. We can only hope that we can spread this knowledge to as many people as possible, protecting as many children as we can.

We recognize that although no price should be put on our children's safety, there are circumstances beyond our control whereby the purchase of 5-point harness car seats is beyond many families financial capabilities. This is where we would like to help and make a difference - where Kyle and our love for him will make a difference. If you are a family in need of a car seat and it is out of your financial capabilities to purchase one, whether it be for one child, or you can perhaps afford one, but not another for your other child, we want to hear from you and we want to help you. Please write to us using the form below providing as much detail about your circumstances as you possibly can - information about your financial circumstances is obviously vital here to help us make sure we are making the correct determination on how we can assist our applicants. We would like to learn about your family and hope that through Kyle's love, we become one bigger and safer family under his watchful and loving gaze. We will take all information you provide into consideration. If you are successfully chosen to receive a car seat from the foundation, we will make arrangements for a car seat to be delivered to your nearest Child Passenger Safety Technician who will be able to teach you how to correctly install and use your car seat. You will be required to show proper identification to receive and have your car seat installed in your vehicle by a certified Child Passenger Safety Technician.

Unfortunately, the applications we have received heavily outweigh our funding capacity at this time. This has necessitated us in making the very hard decision of focusing our efforts at supplying car seats to children who are either too big for a 40lbs 5-point harness car seat, or about to outgrow one. We made this decision also as there are other programs available which supply 5-point harness car seats for smaller children (under 40lbs).

If your child still fits into a tradition 5 point harness car seat (harnessing to 40lbs) please go to SafeKids.org and locate your nearest Safe Kids Coalition. They will be able to advise you of local donation programs to which you can apply. If you do not manage to locate a local program, please do contact us to let us know and we will assist you in locating one.

Further to this, we are currently only accepting applications from families who are receiving some form of financial aid - WIC, Medicaid, Unemployment etc. Please be prepared to provide a letter written on official headed paper showing your current status of receiving financial aid. Failure to submit this paperwork will disqualify your application. Many thanks for both your interest in the foundation and your application.
