United Cerebral Palsy

Regular price $75.00

$75 will pay for the time it takes for an Information & Referral Specialist to assist 15 people with disabilities and their families. That means for every five dollars, a family indentifies a therapy program for their child, a father finds funding to buy an accessible van, or a woman is given employment resources.
