DONATIONS MAKE A DIFFERENCE

It provides children and youth with Autism a safe space to just be and have fun with their peers. For parents and caregivers, it is the precious gift of time that can be used to tend to other needs.

Testimonals

After school program will be great – service beyond 13.

Your care for my child is greatly appreciated. Thank you for helping us!!

The safe environment. The wonderful and friendly people that help my child.

Great volunteers and staff. Much needed break.

(She) loves it. She has so much fun doing everything!

It is good to know my son is in good care while we are able to spend time with our youngest child.

Gives us the rest of family free time.

She (participant) has become more social, better communication.

A lot more males volunteering. It is important to have role models that my child can learn from and relate to.

You have more camps which is great.

I am able to not worry and peace of mind about my children when they are at FOOTPRINTS because I know that they are receiving the level of care they need. They are safe and comfortable being with the FOOTPRINTS staff and look forward to it every other weekend.

We are able to spend one on one time with our youngest and get chores done around the house.

My son loves FOOTPRINTS and asks to go every Saturday. It will be a sad day when I tell him he isn’t able to attend any more.

I like that my son and daughter can be alone together without Mom or Dad there and strengthen their relationship, practice social skills in a safe and structured environment while being themselves.
