Project Description

THE PROBLEM:

Raising a child with special needs can be difficult. However, many in the community do not understand, or worse, are ignorant of the huge struggles in raising a child with special needs. Hence, we find it necessary to reduce the stigma surrounding children with special needs, so that our society can be more supportive and empathetic towards these children and their caregivers, whomever they may be. This may help to reduce some of the stress on caregivers of special-needs children.

WHAT WE WANT TO ACHIEVE:

We hope to benefit the children with special needs and their families/parents/caregivers by:

  1. Raising funds for them to reduce the financial burden as well as to allow more special needs kids to receive early intervention.
  2. Raising awareness of the challenges of raising a child with special needs so as to reduce stigma around children with special needs. We hope that this reduced stigma and increased support from the community can also help to reduce the psychological stress that parents and caregivers of children with special needs face
