While we’ve often highlighted the efforts of our volunteers, today we want to do something a little different — we want to share the great work a couple of Hacking for the Holidays supporters are doing to raise funds to ensure kids with disabilities get the adapted toys they need to play independently.
When students at Gretna Green School’s Gator Designs extracurricular maker club learned they would be building switches for kids with disabilities for our Hacking for the Holidays campaign, they felt inspired to take it one step further.
We’re looking to raise $200,000 to spread the joy of play this holiday season. Every dollar counts — many battery-operated toys can be adapted with just $5 of parts, while $60 can cover the whole cost of a toy and switch. This year, give the gift of play.
Thanks to your support of our Hacking for the Holidays campaign, we were able to deliver adapted toys to places like The Centre for Child Development.
