Happy December!
Reflecting on my first full year as Executive Director, I am so honored to help drive the work of empowering families experiencing disability forward. It's heart work for me because I know first-hand the difference that family-led support has made for my own family and others in my circle.
But today, as we enter end-of-year giving season, I ask for your help. Support remains elusive to many families across the state. While we’re actively working to increase access to family-led support -- improving infrastructure, bringing on more bilingual staff, and collaborating with partners from under-resourced communities -- we need your help to lean fully into this work.
Your support helps us offer services FREE to families in the face of unprecedented demand and flat funding from other sources. One such service is our Support Line. Since July 1, our support staff have already provided family-led support to 625 unique families from across the state. On average, we connect with a family 10-11 times per support request. This equates to over 8,600 connections in 5 months on disability and special education related questions.
I ask you today to make a gift to welcome more families into support, hope, encouragement, and empowerment.
