Clarisa Leung is a speech pathologist who works with native-Spanish speaking special needs kids in Chicago. She tells us that she doesn’t always have the tools she needs to give the kids the dignity they deserve and her kids tend to get left behind when it comes to funding, so we (which really means you if you’re our customers) helped her buy tools to help the non-verbal kids she serves have an easier time communicating. Congrats to Clarisa! A) we have a hunch you’re a hero to so many kids everyday and B) thanks for giving a damn. Happiest of Holidays, we hope this helps. Let us all know how it goes!
If you or a friend or family member have a great idea for a project that makes your community better but just needs a little help getting off the ground, then you should apply for a #takeflight grant! We give one away about every month. Spread the word so we can do as much good as possible.
