My story is that this is my 27th year as a board member of the Sammamish Family YMCA. I am very proud of our new facility, of which I was the capital campaign chair. This is my last year on the board, and I would appreciate you helping me meet a significant goal in my last year. The Y is a very efficient and effective organization which is addressing unmet needs in our community. Below is one story......
Story
Joshua may never learn to swim.
But Y swimming lessons are still incredibly beneficial to him.
After aging out of the special ed program at his public
school, and after some of the precious few adult programs
in the area closed due to covid, Joshuas mother wasnt
sure where to turn. As a developmentally delayed person
with cerebral palsy and autism, he needs therapeutic social
interaction and PT. While we dont specifically offer those
things, playing games in the pool helps meet those needs by
engaging his body and providing positive social interaction.
The swim staff, especially Jordan, have all been
fantastic! Joshua is so excited to go for his swim lessons," shared his mother.
Jordan has been able to block out time to see Joshua twice
a week. Its this kind of commitment to community that
drives us.
