Acts of kindness, no matter how small are never wasted and can make a significant difference in the lives of others.

The Wilkes Foundation is an Ohio-based nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting individuals with disabilities who lack access to basic life necessities. Founded and operated by Eric Wilkes in July of 2025, the organization was created to address the painful reality that many individuals within the DODD population live on extremely limited incomes and cannot afford things like new clothing, assistive devices or even haircuts. The foundation's programs are designed to provide these essential supports while preserving the dignity and individuality of every person served.
