On Sunday, May 21st I’ll be walking to raise awareness and funds for an organization and a community that has a special place in my heart.
Friendship Circle Upper East Side works every day to cultivate friendships between kids, teens, and young adults with special needs and dedicated teen and young adult volunteers. This organization provides social and recreational opportunities that are otherwise unavailable to individuals with special needs. Hundreds of friendships have been formed and so many lives have been changed for the better because of this beautiful organization. I volunteer every week at a program called Sunday Circle where I have the privilege of spending time with my buddy, Leah.
Friendship Circle has had such a positive impact on my life and I am so grateful for my buddy Leah as well as the entire FS community. I have fostered many special relationships with the kids in addition to my buddy, and I look forward to seeing them each week. It is incredibly rewarding and heartwarming to put smiles on these kids' faces; it is truly a feeling like no other. I always highly anticipate hanging out with Leah at Sunday Circle, and she never fails to brighten my day.
Now more than ever, I’m inspired to continue supporting this special community. Friendship Circle is heavily reliant on donations in order to fund all of its programs and make the kids' experience the best it can possibly be. Anything you can give to support my walk will be so appreciated and go such a long way. Thank you so much!
