Fence

High
Overdue

A 5-year-old boy who is nonverbal and has been diagnosed with autism was adopted by his grandparents. Despite many efforts to keep him safe, he continues to find ways to get out of the home. For his safety, the family would like to install a fence around their yard so that if he does get outside, he would still remain in a secure area. The initial estimate for the fence was around $10,000, which is far beyond what the family can afford. CYS is looking for financial donations to help offset the cost or for a fencing company / handyman that may be willing to help at a reduced rate. Fence details: 250ft and 6ft high pvc or wood. If you are able to help, please contact Kelsey Glass In-Home Services Manager Children and Youth Services Phone: 610-478-6700 ext. 6789
