A bit of a long read, but i want to this issue for all - please do read and act … 🙏🏻🙏🏻🥹🥹💕
Christmas songs playing on the Radio .... Decorations and lights put up everywhere.... Shopping frenzies over gifts for loved ones....Yummy foods being prepared for family members to share .... It is that time of the year .. when joy, love, cheer abound ....Yet, there are many, to celebrate this time of the year... don't have many around .... especially those that are developmentally different because few tend to remember to invite them.... fewer among them are those with natural circles of support to celebrate with them.....As they grow older, they become more isolated ... almost like their existence in our community has dissipated...
That is why, at PRAGNYA, year after year for over 5 years we have celebrated the Holiday Season in the community as one big Happy Family ... where all of our (Autism, Downs, Cerebral Palsy, Prader willi etc) friends are also invited to partake in a delumptitious BRUNCH along with all of us in the community, where our Allies cook the yummy meals and and his helpers pack and give away the personalized gift bags to each of them.
Now, my dear friend, this is where we need your help. Last year PRAGNYA sent out 435 such gift bags to neurominority individuals thanks to support from people like you .... We hope to hit 500 bags this year. Each bag costs just $30 and is carefully packed with goodies and items that would be of value to the individual depending on their likes (favorite color, character etc.) We need your support to be able to get this many bags out again - there are over 300,000 Californians with Developmental disabilities and we are only talking about 500 bags here.... Please help us help them feel special .... $30 is less than a meal for two outside ... or a movie date .... would you consider donating towards the HOH (Holidays of Happiness) gift bags? And please come on December 16, 2023 to be there and share with all of these beautiful people!
Please DONATE ... and RSVP!!
