On Dec. 3, 2011, 2-year-old Aidan Curry of Bellevue, Nebraska, lost his life when his family’s vehicle was struck from behind by a speeding semi tractor-trailer. While Aidan and his 17-month-old sister Ansley were properly restrained in car seats, the trauma was too great for him. However, the car seat saved Ansley’s life.
Aidan’s parents, Jennifer and Jeff Curry, now residing in Lincoln, began Aidan’s Animals, an area nonprofit organization, in honor of their son as a way to give back to the community. As the charity grew, they added Karseats for Kids to provide education and resources for child safety seats.
Since Aidan’s Animals launched its Karseats for Kids program in 2013, the organization has provided more than $5,000 in free car seats to Madonna patients in need. Madonna’s Lincoln Campus is one of two regional referral centers for the Nebraska All Kids Ride Safe Program, which aims to make sure families who have children with disabilities or medical conditions which result in special needs have access to the right kinds of car seats.
Madonna is grateful for our partnership with Aidan’s Animals, whose generous donations of special needs car seats has positively impacted the lives of many of our youngest patients. To learn more about Aidan’s Animals visit: www.supportaidansanimals.org.
