An Update on COVID-19
The COVID-19 pandemic has placed an unbelievable burden on our families of all abilities. They are in crisis, and the fear and isolation of being a special needs parent have been amplified. Many of our parents have lost their support systems and have had to take on the role of teacher, therapist, and aide by themselves. In addition to being exhausted, they are terrified for their child’s health and struggling with lost income.
ESP has created the first-ever Emergency Family Support Fund to provide financial assistance, safe respite care, and meal deliveries. We did not budget for this but have chosen to expand our mission to serve our families in need. We hope you will stand beside us in providing relief, care, and hope by making a donation to the fund. Your support will make it possible for ESP to see our families through this crisis.
As we grow, we are committed to keeping program costs low for our families, so that they can focus on their child’s experiences rather than financing them. To make that possible, we rely on the support of our community. It is thanks to your generosity that ESP is able to provide our programs. We thank you for taking the time to partner with us and are grateful that you have chosen to support the individuals and families we serve throughout the year.
