Making children’s futures brighter   Families today are facing unprecedented challenges. For families who were already struggling, the global pandemic and economic turbulence have acted as magnifiers, exacerbating existing challenges and creating additional pressures. More and more families are being pushed to the point of crisis. Our programme of group activities and 1:1 support is needed now more than ever to improve the futures of children in their early years. During this time, children need nurturing care from their parents and caregivers. The quality of the relationships that surround children, and a positive home environment are key to promoting wellbeing, healthy relationships and school success later in life. “Our early childhoods, the time from pregnancy to five, fundamentally shape our whole lives.” – Royal Foundation Centre for Early Childhood. Simply donate Join us on our mission to give more children the chance of a brighter future by simply making a donation between midday 4th June – midday 18th June.

This #STEPtemeber I've joined a team to raise money for Cerebral Palsy Alliance. Consider donating to our team https://lnkd.in/gyJQxKn6 I know many people with Cerebral Palsy, some who were diagnosed later in life. It's incredible to see how life-changing simple supports can be for people living with CP. Joining forces with other #nabDesign team members, Charlotte Priestley Kilmartin, Jen Harper and Ryan Lewien, we are pushing through disability, pregnancy, holidays and sickness to and finding ways to get moving and hit 10k steps daily. Me I have a mobility disability; it's hard for me to walk, and my daily goal is usually 3.500 steps. I'm adding in my riding commute, yoga and strength training to get to my target goal.

Seeing a child’s face light up with joy because of your generosity is a moment that can truly make a lasting impact! 💙 Supporting children in need is one of the most meaningful ways we can give back. Join us in making a difference by donating today—every act of kindness helps! 🤝 For Kids: The original Hope Box, filled with everything from a sketch pad and crayons to scissors and glue, gives children the tools they need to tap into their creativity and escape into a world of imagination. These thoughtfully crafted boxes offer children in hospitals a much-needed break from their surroundings, inspiring joy and hope through hands-on art projects.

With art supplies, puzzles, and a cozy coffee mug, it provides moms a chance to embrace creativity and enjoy a small but significant respite during difficult times. At Pest Pros, we’re proud to honor the All About Hope Foundation not just this quarter, but all year round. All About Hope is dedicated to improving the lives of hospitalized children and their families by delivering Hope Boxes that spark creativity, promote emotional well-being, and provide a sense of escape during some of their hardest moments.

One of my passions is finding ways to make a difference for people who are on waiting lists for essential services. In certain places, like Kansas, more than 5,100 people with IDD are waiting up to nearly ten years to access waiver services. I am a believer that managed care organizations can play a crucial role in supporting people on the waiting list to fully participate, contribute, thrive, and live in their communities of choice. It's not the only solution, but it's an important part of a larger approach that includes advocacy and policy changes. I am fortunate to work for an organization, CareSource, that sees the importance it can play in offering better supports to those waiting for services. We recognize that we can't do this critical work alone, but instead we must collaborate with organizations, advocacy groups, and stakeholders embedded in these communities. For example, CareSource recently announced a $25,000 donation to the Kansas ABLE Savings Program. This donation bolsters the Kansas State Treasurer’s Office’s efforts to improve awareness of ABLE's resources for people on the waiting list. ABLE accounts offer a way for people to save beyond the $2,000 asset limit without risking their Medicaid or SSI eligibility. As advocacy efforts continue to reduce or eliminate waiting lists, ABLE accounts offer a unique solution for people while waiting for services while not penalizing them for saving money. There are only so many flat-screened TVs a person can purchase to spend down their money. So, in the end, the driving force is a commitment to making a positive impact on people's lives. Being on a waiting list for services does not minimize the need for services. We must hear their voices, understand their needs, and take action to bring about real change.

According to the Washington State Department of Children, Youth, and Families, only 29% of the 300,000+ families with children under the age of 5 have access to child care. The situation is even more challenging for families of school-age children (kindergarten through age 12). With over 469,000 children needing care, only 12% are served by licensed providers, preschools, or subsidized child care programs. At Kids Co., we are committed to addressing these gaps, striving to create a future where all families have access to the care they need. But we can’t do it alone—this is a challenge for us all. If you want to help us change this statistic, consider donating to our cause.

One month out from Strides 4 CMV Minnesota! We hope you can join Jackson’s team or donate to help us make it to our goal! Strides 4 CMV isn’t your average 5k – it’s a celebration! Run, walk, or roll your way through the course, then stick around for some entertainment. Now, let’s talk about why we’re doing this. Congenital CMV (cCMV) might not be a household name, but it’s a big deal. It’s the leading non-genetic cause of childhood hearing loss and disabilities, yet awareness remains shockingly low. By showing up for Strides 4 CMV, you’re helping spread the word, provide support, and share vital prevention info to kick cCMV to the curb! #Strides4CMVTwinCities #CMV #FacesofCMV #NationalCMVFoundation #Strides4CMV https://lnkd.in/gtmsRRXz
