[Fredslist] Please help my niece help her underserved special needs students

[David Abeshouse]

All: 

My niece Elanna recently completed Columbia University's graduate speech
pathology Masters' degree program and is working at a school district in an
impoverished section of the Bronx. 

We have just a handful of days to participate in a charitable matching
program to help furnish classroom materials that the city and schools cannot
provide to these Autistic kindergarten students. 

Please see Elanna's message below, and click on the link below (please
scroll down) to make a donation - even a very modest contribution helps,
because it will be doubled by the "Donors Choose" non-profit organization. 

And please feel free to pass this along to anyone who might be inspired to
participate. 

Thanks, 

David

Hello friends, family, and loved ones!

Happy new year! As you know, I work as as a speech language pathologist for
the NYC Department of Education. I work in a specialized district for with
kindergartners on the Autism spectrum in one of the most underserved areas
of the Bronx where we do not receive fundamental educational materials. We
are a brand new site this year and are trying to build our materials so our
students have everything they need to be successful. The sooner we acquire
these materials, the sooner our students can learn and grow!

My colleagues and I have decided to do a "Donors Choose" project for
students'
morning meeting routine. Donors Choose is a nonprofit 501(c)(3)
organization that allows educators to request specific items they need for
their classrooms. As many of you know, students with Autism thrive on
routine, consistency, and visual support, which we can provide for them
through this activity. For the morning meeting, we need assistive
technology for our students who are nonverbal, charts and pointers, and a
color printer (as our site is in desperate need!).

Please help us make this happen! For the next week (until Fri., 1/31), if
you
enter the code INSPIRE at check out, Donors Choose will MATCH the donation
DOLLAR FOR DOLLAR!!! Double your impact!!! All donations are tax
deductible.

Please click on the link below to find the project:

Thank you so much in advance for your support. If you know of anybody who
would also be interested and able to support us, please feel free to pass
this along! Our students have shown so much progress in the last few months
- let's keep it going!
