On Sunday, May 19th I’ll be walking to raise awareness and funds for Friendship Circle, a Jewish nonprofit that works every day to cultivate friendships between volunteers such as myself and kids, teens and young adults with special needs, providing social, recreational and creative opportunities that are otherwise unavailable to them.
Over the past four years as a volunteer and now Leadership Board Member at Friendship Circle, I have shared countless unforgettable moments with my buddies. From baking hamantashens with my buddy Aviva to crafting with glitter tattoos and rhinestones, every interaction reinforces the crucial role Friendship Circle plays in their lives.
These experiences have not only allowed me to forge strong connections but have also taught me invaluable lessons through the unique talents and perspectives that children with special needs bring to our world, and how much they flourish when given the chance.
Any support you can provide for the walk will be deeply appreciated and will make a difference. Thank you for considering this cause that means so much to me.
