Great opportunity!

Accessibility is a fundamental right, not a privilege. It is our mission to create accessibility for all, ensuring everyone has equal access to the world around them. #accessibilityforall #wehearyou

YOUR DONATIONS AT WORK! Last month, we received a request from a mother in St. Roberts, MO, seeking assistance in purchasing a communication device for her 4-year-old daughter, Serenity. Serenity is living with acquired spastic quadriplegic cerebral palsy. Her mother, Cassie, shared that Serenity undergoes regular speech therapy to support her verbal development, as she is currently non-verbal. The communication device would greatly benefit Serenity's ability to express her wants and needs, while also helping Cassie better understand her daughter's desires. We were happy to assist with this request. Today, we received a very sweet picture and email from the family letting us know how Serenity is doing with the device and how grateful they are to our donors (many of you) who invest in MO Better Foundation and -- ultimately -- kids like Serenity! BTW, did you see that smile??!! That says it all! THANK YOU!
