This Giving Season make a gift that directly supports a family in need. 


DSAMn is dedicating our "Give To The Max" and "Giving Tuesday" campaigns to support our Emergency Financial Assistance Fund.  

Raising a child with a disability can be more costly than raising a child without a disability. For families with limited or modest financial means, the additional costs can add up - factor in lost wages, unpaid leave, or even the loss of a job and the family may be in financial crisis. We are here to help. 


Since March 2020, DSAMn has offered emergency financial assistance to support individuals and families facing financial hardship. This program provides immediate, flexible funds to be used where the family needs it most--groceries, diapers, utilities, assistance with housing--whatever the family needs. (Requests are capped at $500 per household per calendar year.) We know this is not a long term solution - but that is where our Family Connectors come in--connecting the family to additional resources, benefits, and programs that can turn the tide.  This Give To The Max Day, please consider making a donation to support this fund.
