The power within us
As the year ends, we reflect on the incredible growth, joy, and opportunities your support has brought to SPARC and the individuals we serve. Each day, we witness the transformative power of a community that believes in inclusion and the potential of every person.
Today, we share two inspiring stories that illustrate the impact of your generosity.
dAVID’S STORY
David has been with SPARC for several years and has recently achieved remarkable progress in his independence and self-awareness.
Once hesitant in social settings, David has become a key voice in group discussions and a source of encouragement for others. He has also developed the ability to express his frustrations appropriately, an essential skill for navigating daily life.
David’s empathy and advocacy for himself and his peers have blossomed, allowing him to shine not only within SPARC but in his broader community. His commitment to personal growth inspires everyone around him.
MADDIE’S STORY
Maddie is a vibrant young woman who loves learning and connecting with others. At SPARC, Maddie thrives in an environment tailored to her needs, with one-on-one attention that fosters her growth and independence.
Whether she’s signing a new word, mastering a recipe in a cooking class, or engaging in a social game, Maddie continuously surprises and inspires us. Her parents share,
“SPARC provides our daughter Maddie the opportunity to continue learning, have new experiences, and be involved in her community. We’ve truly seen her thrive here—she’s living her best life.”
The Power Of You
These stories are a testament to the life-changing impact of SPARC’s programs—made possible through the support of donors like you. Every day, SPARC provides adults with disabilities the opportunity to learn, connect, and contribute to their communities. For participants like Maddie and David, SPARC is not just a program—it’s a lifeline to independence, empowerment, and fulfillment.
As we look ahead to 2025, we’re committed to reaching even more individuals and families who need us. But we can’t do it without you. This holiday season, your gift will ensure that SPARC can continue to offer innovative programs, dedicated one-on-one support, and a place where everyone feels valued.
Your generosity changes lives. Please consider making a year-end gift to SPARC today. Together, we can ensure that every participant has the chance to thrive and live their best life—just like Maddie and David.
