We Need YOUR Help With Apraxia Awareness!

Please share Vinnie’s message.

Wendy N Apraxia Awareness 2013

Happy Monday!

Below is a message I recieved from my dear friend Wendy that I wanted to share with you all.  

Above is a flier Wendy put together to help support an important life changing issue close to her and her families heart. mydigitalstudio (c)

Wendy she is able to spread the word about illnesses her darling son has, while being in touch with her awesome loving and creative side.

Thank you in advance for any support you can give!  Nothing is too little!

**************************************************************

Dear Family,

We need your help again.  This time it is to help spread Apraxia Awareness.  The first ever Apraxia Awareness Day is this coming Tuesday, May 14th.  We’ve included a flyer from Vinnie to help raise awareness, education, and understanding.  

Please print it, post it, or tell someone you meet on Tuesday about Apraxia.  

Apraxia is among the most severe speech and communication problems in children.  Kids like Vinnie have difficulty planning out how to move their lips, mouth, tongue, or jaw to make the words sound correct.  They understand language well enough, but they can’t plan the speech movements to happen at just at the right time, in just the right order for the words to come out right and clear.

 For more information, check out Apraxia-KIDS.org.

 Love,

Lou, Wendy, Dominick & Vincent

 

Every Child Deserves a Voice

CASANA is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization based in Pittsburgh, PA dedicated to improving the system of support in the lives of children with apraxia of speech so that each child is afforded their best opportunity to develop speech and full communication.  The organization raises awareness; provides support, information and education; and funds and supports CAS research.

About the Program

Stampin’ Up! is partnering with Ronald McDonald House Charities® (RMHC) to bring comfort and creativity to the lives of Ronald McDonald House guests. Each year, thousands of families stay at more than 160 independently operated Ronald McDonald Houses in North America. These Houses serve as temporary homes for the families of seriously ill children who are being treated in nearby hospitals.

We are pleased and honored to be a national sponsor of RMHC. Together, these two caring, helping organizations will create a powerful environment in which House guests will be able to enjoy creative expression in the comfort of their “home-away-from-home.”

As part of our commitment to support this organization, Stampin’ Up! will:

  • Make an annual contribution to RMHC.
  • Design an exclusive stamp set each year; a portion of the proceeds from the sale of that set will be donated to the organization. This year’s set is Moving Forward.
  • Donate items created by our demonstrators to Houses in the cities where we host events.
  • Facilitate a program through which demonstrators can make a caring contribution and organize volunteer activities at Ronald McDonald Houses.

Because of the service and dedication you consistently provide to your customers, we are all able to make a difference in the lives of these special families. We appreciate all you have done to make Stampin’ Up! a thriving and stable business capable of making this generous contribution.

 To view the Current Ronald McDonald Charity Stamp Set called Moving Forward please click HERE!

 Here are some great samples… it’s not too late to help support this wonderful cause! 

Look out for the Brand New Ronald McDonald House Charities Stamp Set which will become available June 1, 2013 to purchase also!

They make great gifts for children’s birthdays, rainy day gifts as well as for any holiday, including Valentine’s Day!

Thank YOU for making a Difference!
