Members of The Board of Visitors present a check for $30,000
to help fund Southwest Human Development's ADAPT Shop

When you give to Southwest Human Development, you’re giving to children like Sofia – a shy little girl who suffered from a speech delay. Thanks to support from people like you, Sofia joined Head Start and is now receiving speech therapy and learning social skills – so she’ll be prepared for success in school and life. And that’s just the start of what your donations can do: 

• For $35, you can modify a toy so a child with cerebral palsy can play
• For $50, you’ll provide 10 books to a child living in poverty – and give his parents the training to help him enter kindergarten ready to succeed
• For $150, you can give an hour of therapy to a child abuse survivor
• For $600, you can send a toddler to one month of speech therapy
• For $1,800, you’ll provide a child with complex developmental or behavioral problems with a full medical and therapeutic team assessment 
• For $5,000, you can provide a speech-generating device to a child who is unable to speak

Whatever you give, you can change the life of a child in our community. Simply donate online quickly and securely, or mail a check to our offices. 

For every dollar you give, you may also be eligible for the Working Poor Tax Credit for the same amount – up to $200 for single or head of household returns, and $400 for joint returns.
