About H.E.I.D.I.

The H.E.I.D.I. Association (Helping Every Individual Develop Independence) was established by Gerald and Sandi Brand in memory of their daughter Heidi. She passed away May 26th, 2011. Heidi was a special needs child and was an advocate for the rights of the disabled. Our organization benefits special needs people in and around our area. We receive our monies from donations and then use that money to assist special needs people, workshops and centers designed to help improve the lifestyle of special needs people.

We have assisted several individuals, school programs and organizations by getting them supplies, resources and donations to meet their needs.

H.E.I.D.I. is organized and operated exclusively for charitable purposes in accordance with Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. More specifically, H.E.I.D.I. is dedicated to assisting individuals with special needs so that they may live their best life possible.

If you or anyone you know has a special need and needs assistance, please contact Gerald Brand at 217-825-3830 or email us as mule.gb@gmail.com.
