A mother and API member recently wrote us a letter about the joys of interacting with her child with the use of an iPad she received from API's Give Kids a Voice program.
I have yet to find a better way to help him self-regulate and calm him when he is overwhelmed than this little machine! He is learning to drag and drop pictures and interact with me to pop bubbles on the bubble app. We look forward to using it to assist with his communication as well. Thank you for all that you do!
iPad technology grabs the attention of these children and holds a key to unlocking their world. We are raising funds to provide iPads for low income families who complete our PEP classes. Support from World-wide donors of our GlobalGiving project ‘Give Kids a Voice’ has enabled us to raise donations for discounted iPads for 22 families. This is the perfect time for our donors to join this campaign! In fact, we’d like to challenge every donor to ‘Be One and Get One’— challenge a friend to join you in giving!
For One Week ONLY, (Sept. 3-10), GlobalGiving will generously match every new monthly reoccurring donation (minimum 3 month commitment). For example, if you set up a new $25 monthly recurring donation, they will donate an additional $25 to the project. Our goal is to offer one iPad every month. If ten people donate $25 this month, then GlobalGiving will match this amount and we will have $500 to offer a new iPad.
For more information on how your donation is helping to make a difference in the lives of so many in our community, we invite you to visit our project website here. Please refer to the recurring donation matching FAQ and terms here.
Thank you again, and we look forward to your continued support.
