Financially this past year has been especially tough. I was laid off due to the pandemic. I am now back to work part-time, but business is not what it used to be. As a parent, you want to give your kids the world but sometimes you need to ask for a bit of help. I'm asking for that little help right now. Any sort of assistance at this moment to help send my son to a camp I truly think would change his life would be forever appreciated". -- A SAY Parent
SAY is working overtime to bounce back to full capacity this summer, but like so many of our families, we need some extra help.
In addition to our need for additional safety measures, the vast majority of SAY families need more support this year.
If you are able, we are asking you to give a little extra to help the children whose families faced great hardship this last year.
SAY: The Stuttering Association for the Young is a national 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that provides support, advocacy, and life-changing experiences for young people who stutter, ages 3-18. Since 2001, SAY has offered comprehensive and innovative programs that address the physical, social, and emotional impacts of stuttering. Through summer camp, regional day camps, speech therapy, and creative arts programming, SAY builds a community of acceptance, friendship, and encouragement where young people who stutter can develop the confidence and communication skills they need to thrive.
To date, no child has ever been turned away due to a family's inability to pay. Your support helps ensure that important and essential legacy.
SAY is only able to maintain this community for young people who stutter because supporters like you decide to make it a priority. The belief that children who stutter are valuable and deserve to be heard should not be a radical idea. But all too often, it is. These children have unlimited potential to live their dreams if they can learn to love themselves. With your help, they will.
Your support has a huge impact on an organization of our size. You make it possible. Please help us show children who stutter that their voices truly matter.
Thank you!
