Building Blocks for Kids

Founded in January 2003, Building Blocks for Kids (BB4K) was created with a singular mission: to bring hope, resources, and life-changing support to families raising children with physical, emotional, and developmental challenges. Over the past two decades, BB4K has impacted the lives of more than 1,000 children and awarded over $2 million in scholarships—each one a stepping stone toward a brighter future.

​

But our mission is more than numbers. It’s about transforming lives.

​

Imagine a child unable to speak with their family due to a speech disorder, or a child confined to the first floor of their home because they can’t climb the stairs. These are the children we serve—and behind each child is a family navigating daily challenges with courage and love. BB4K exists to ease that burden and restore hope.

​

Our programs provide therapy, home modifications, medical equipment, transportation assistance, and more—tailored to meet each child’s unique needs. Whether it’s a ramp that opens up a home, a device that unlocks communication, or therapy that nurtures growth, our support empowers children to thrive and families to breathe a little easier.

​

Guided by our core values—compassion, commitment, hope, family, and community—we serve families within a 120-mile radius of Greater Cincinnati, building a network of care and connection. We believe that when a child’s life improves, the entire family is uplifted. Parents regain strength. Siblings feel supported. Homes become places of healing and possibility.

At BB4K, we don’t just provide assistance—we build futures, one child and one family at a time.
