Giving Tuesday
This Giving Tuesday, Your Gift Can Change Lives
Reese is a remarkable three-year-old who has faced challenges that many of us can hardly imagine. Born with hip dysplasia, she has undergone seven surgeries and spent eight weeks in a full-body cast. At the age of one, she was diagnosed with Kabuki Syndrome, a rare genetic condition that affects just one in 32,000 children. Through it all, Reese’s journey has been defined by her resilience, the love of her family, and the support of her community.
This Giving Tuesday, your gift helps ensure that children and adults like Reese continue to receive the lifelong care, housing, and encouragement they need to thrive. Together, we can build a world where everyone is supported and empowered to live life to the fullest.
