Resilience & Perseverance Amidst COVID-19

Greetings!

We can all agree the past year was unusual and stressful. Yet, we did not expect that shortly after our recent annual report was sent to press, we would once again see a surge of COVID-19. Unfortunately, Delta and other variants are once again challenging us all. As in 2020, people are expressing feelings of fear, isolation, and loneliness, but imagine going through these challenges with a limited or absent ability to communicate. What each of us experienced the past year and are continuing to experience this year is often the on-going reality for people with aphasia.

However, because of the generosity YOU provide, this is no longer the story for our West Texas neighbors who know more than they can say. Our 2021 Annual Report reflects the hard work from our ACWT staff, board members, and volunteers to keep the Center running and providing for our members through trying times.

Thankfully, we were able to resume in-person programs last September and the future for those we serve is bright. The sounds of laughter can once again be heard throughout our hallways and we are definitely getting back to LIFE.

With your help and contribution to our Annual Campaign, empowering people coping with aphasia to overcome communication barriers at home and throughout our communities will continue.
