Little House of Neurodiversity is a new non-profit organization serving Jefferson County, MO.

 What is neurodiversity? Typically, the neurodiverse community includes people with diagnoses of autism, ADHD, or a variety of learning disabilities such as dyslexia, dysgraphia, and dyscalculia. It can also include those with cognitive delays and genetic, medical, and neurological conditions among others. In other words, anyone with a brain that processes the world in its own unique and beautiful way. At Little House of Neurodiversity, we believe that everyone deserves the opportunity to live life fully and/or independently without having to change essential aspects of who they are.

We have started by providing respite care to these individuals. In addition, we have begun to roll out our interest clubs and Mentorship Programs. These clubs allow our neurodiverse community to learn alongside other like-minded people with similar passions. Examples of clubs include Art Club, Dungeons and Dragons Club, Culinary Club, Robotics Club, and Music Therapy Club. Furthermore, we are creating a relational skills program that will be incorporated into both our respite and clubs. We have also started a few mentorships helping individuals get job training. All of our activities help our Neurodiverse community learn both life and socialization skills.

But, of course, all of this cost’s money.

So, I am writing on behalf of Little House of Neurodiversity to request a donation for basket raffles for our upcoming Halloween Party Fundraiser on Saturday, October 7th. At this event, we expect around 150 people to attend. We plan to raffle off gift cards, merchandise, and baskets donated by individuals and businesses like you. The event proceeds will help pay for our established social clubs as well as new ones we are planning.

We would greatly appreciate any donation you can make. Should you donate, for the raffles, your business will be recognized on raffle displays during the event. We will also provide a donation receipt letter with Little House of Neurodiversity’s tax-exempt ID number for your records.

If you have any questions or need further information, please contact me by phone (636) 535-4005 or by email rertel@littlehousemo.org. On behalf of our organization and participants, thank you for your consideration.

Any donations that can be given are greatly appreciated.

Thank you for your consideration!
