  Or Kid One, the mission is simple: transport children and expectant mothers to necessary IMG_2329-2 health care services.Since 1997, Kid One has been fulfilling this mission as the only 501 (c) (3) nonprofit in the state of Alabama and one of only a handful of nonprofit transportation providers targeting children in the U.S.In every community throughout this state, there is a great need for safe, reliable transportation for children and expectant mothers to their medical appointments. Mass transit is often not a resource in rural areas. In many cases, families in rural areas without a vehicle cannot make long-distance trips to specialized care.Similarly, families living in and around major cities cannot access much-needed healthcare services for their children due to the unreliability and limited reach of mass transit systems. Kid One is the bridge across this transportation gap for all of these families.
