8 Great Special Needs Campaigns On Kickstarter & Indiegogo

Gone are the days when the big companies and organizations were the only ones who were able to take a creative idea, spend the money and create a product. In today's day-and-age of social media and crowdfunding anyone with a creative idea can start a Kickstarter or Indiegogo campaign and ask people to support their idea. Crowdfunding has made it possible for a single individual to help many people with special needs. Here are eight special needs crowdfunding campaigns currently on Kickstarter and Indiegogo. Please take a few minutes to check them out and support the ones close to your heart!
