Supporting First Responders in Waddy, KY

The Backwards Backpack is proud to announce that two additional sensory support backpacks are now in service with the Waddy Fire Department. These backpacks are designed to help first responders provide comfort, support, and sensory-friendly resources to children during emergency situations.

We are grateful to Fire Chief James Riddle for partnering with us and embracing this initiative to better serve children and families in the community. By equipping emergency personnel with sensory support tools, we can help create calmer and more positive experiences during challenging moments.

This milestone was made possible through the generosity of Tim and Kayla Wiley, whose sponsorship provided both backpacks. Their continued support and dedication to our mission have played an important role in helping us expand our impact and reach more families throughout our region.
