Friends and community members,
I am here to share an incredible message with you, the message of hope for students with disabilities. I am a school psychologist who provides counseling services for youth with disabilities in a high poverty area. Born and raised on Long Island, I often struggle to imagine the tremendous disadvantages they face each day, as to many of us, they are unimaginable. My students, despite their disabilities, are RESILIENT, HARDWORKING, and DEDICATED, but likely due to a lack of consistency in their lives, they are in desperate need of continued motivation to succeed and face the odds against them. Please help to provide some motivation for my students and to help ensure that they can be motivated to become active and important contributors to our communities.

Every dollar, like, share and mention of this post to a family member, friend, or colleague would be essential to our initiative. If you are gracious enough to donate, please be sure to enter the promo code: COLBERT at checkout and have your donation doubled.

There are only 15 days remaining to make this dream possible for my students, and with just $390 remaining (w/the promo), we can truly help to shape the citizens of our community. Thank you sincerely for your support.
