Your Donations Keep Families Thriving


Access to NECC programs has been life-changing for one NECC family. Their daughter, who faces sensory challenges, has thrived through supportive activities at the center.


"The staff has been very understanding and patient...it has been a delight to see her skills and confidence increase. She treats the center like a second home," the parent shared.


Their daughter thoroughly enjoys all her activities at the center, including Marlon's Dance class, where she learned to feel the music before moving, and Bike camp, which has boosted her confidence and enabled family bike rides together.


For the parents, NECC’s lap swim program has been equally transformative. After a serious accident, the parent relied on swimming as a vital part of physical therapy. "Lap swim has been an amazing resource that allows me to do my exercises, increase my activity level during recovery, and gain strength."


The family also cherishes the shared time swimming provides. "We both look forward to lap swim as a time to chat uninterrupted...and to relax enough to laugh together," the parent explained. Combining exercise, social connection, and support has uniquely benefited this family to thrive.


Your support ensures that families like theirs can continue to thrive at NECC. Every donation strengthens our shared community, helping to create life-changing opportunities.


Together, let’s keep NECC strong for the next 20 years—and beyond.
