Meet one of our AMAZING Board Members ✨

Project Access is fortunate to have the leadership of many amazing individuals on our board. Today we would like to feature one of those amazing individuals.

"My name is Deborah Donaldson and I retired from Sedgwick County where I was a Division Director responsible for COMCARE Mental Health, the Community Developmental Disability Organization and the Department on Aging. I have been aware of Project Access since its inception and the important gap in our healthcare system it fills. I’ve been proud to be on the board and a part of continuing to support the critical work that makes our community a healthier place to live. I’ve always had a passion for helping individuals most in need to give them an opportunity to have a productive and fulfilling life."

Thank you Deborah for believing in our program and for your steadfast commitment to our organization.

Beautiful tribute to Kiah Duggins ♥️

The Harvard Legal Aid Bureau is honoring the life and legacy of 30-year-old Kiah Duggins, who died in the crash of Flight 5342. Kiah was elected president of he Harvard Legal Aid Bureau, where she worked throughout the pandemic to protect families from unlawful evictions. The Wichita native earned her JD from Harvard Law School in the spring of 2021.

"Kiah led with unwavering enthusiasm, grace, and a laugh that could brighten even the darkest of days," the plaque reads. "She worked tirelessly to ensure that our most vulnerable populations received the representation and justice they deserved. May Kiah's memory continue to welcome the HLAB community and encourage it to be tenacious in the face of injustice."

This week Kevin was kind enough to share his story with us. For Kevin, breathing shouldn’t be a luxury but without help, it is difficult. At 57, Kevin lives with severe COPD and asthma, conditions that make every breath a challenge. His inhalers alone cost as much as someone’s monthly rent, placing life‑sustaining medication far out of reach.

That changed thanks to Project Access.

Recently, Kevin met with our Prescription Assistance Coordinator, Fern, to sign applications for continued donated inhalers. During his visit, he shared what the program has meant to him. With gratitude and gaspiness in his voice, he said:

“My doctor, Kristy (his Service Coordinator), and you have made my life livable.”

Kevin knows that without Project Access, he simply wouldn’t be able to breathe. Thanks to the support of our coordinators and donating physicians, he’s managing his conditions as best he can, but he knows he is not doing it alone.
