Our Mission
...To Make a Difference in Someone's Educational Journey
Navigating a child’s educational journey is a challenge and we know first-hand the work, dedication, and resources necessary to educate complex or alternative learners. Finding a school with the resources to teach children with special needs can be burdensome and overwhelming. In addition, families with finite resources may be limited in their ability to help their children reach their potential. Through the Deena Darout Legacy Fund, I’d like to help parents with scholarships for educational support and resources for day, before, and after-school care. By partnering with individuals and organizations dedicated to childhood education or identifying families with financial need, we aim to improve educational outcomes. We probably won’t change the world through this site but if we can make a difference in one family’s life, it will mean something.
How Can You Help
Raising children is a challenge, raising children with learning or social differences can present additional obstacles. Many organizations are working hard to address the unique needs associated with children with different disabilities and learning differences. However, parents often lack advocacy, resources, and information to help their children reach their full potential. The experience with our children, Deena’s empathy for families, as well as her generosity, taught me the importance of giving. She encouraged me through articles and testimonials to get more involved and to be more generous. I’d like to carry on her legacy through this site. With your support, I know we can make a difference in at least one family’s life every year and start a legacy of helping others that can last well beyond our time here.
Help Us Do More
I’ve established the Deena Darout Legacy Fund as a vehicle for children and families in need to benefit from your generosity. We are torn in many different directions every day and some of us are barely hanging on. However, I don’t believe our generosity is limited to what we can give, only by the capacity in our hearts to help and care for others. You can help us make a difference by first taking a moment to reach out to your family, friends, or neighbors who could use your support in their journey.
