Hi friends,<\/h3>\n

I hope you\u2019re all enjoying the holiday season and not blowing too much on Cyber Monday sales. This time of year can make all of us a little compulsive with the clicking.<\/p>\n

Since it\u2019s Giving Tuesday, if you\u2019re able to throw in a few shekels to help cover the cost of our coaching and discussion circles, we\u2019d be grateful. These spaces support so many families and self-advocates, and every bit genuinely helps \u2014 no big pitch!<\/p>\n

Whatever you can give is appreciated.<\/strong><\/p>\n
