At the age of 4, Gabrielle developed a stutter.  At the time this happened, we believed it was developmental and would dissipate with time.  By the time she entered kindergarten, her stutter was still present and today, at the age of 7.5, it is something she struggles with everyday.  Through the help of one amazing speech therapist at her Elementary School, I learned of this organization.  Now, thanks to what she (and I) have learned from the organization, she now is able to embrace her (beautiful) stutter and tells people that every voice matters!  Please consider giving to this organization for Gabrielle and kids like her.  Stuttering should not be something we need to be ashamed of, but instead, something we embrace.  Thank you.
