My Nonprofit Reviews

Before Kulturecity came along no other autism nonprofit would help me help me son. I couldn’t even get advise and when I explained there was no local autism group in my area I was told I’m sorry we can’t help you then. My son needed an iPad for educational purposes a friend told me a guy from my neck of woods contacted him about a nonprofit he was starting up and asked me to attend their first gala and represent his Facebook page. I did and at the gala they gave out brand new iPads to 5 families with autism. My son finally got the educational tool he needed. After that we became a part of the Kulturecity family. He started a local group when he was 17 years old for teens and young adults with autism They have helped build his confidence and took his group on as a Kulturecity project. He also volunteers for Kulturecity events as well. You won’t find any other autism organization who don’t place an age cap on who they help with autism except Kulturecity. So I guess you can say I’m a client and a volunteer for Kulturecity.

Why I chose to give to Kulturecity!
As a autism family. We had many doors shut in our faces. I signed up through every autism organization I could find for help and not even getting a reply back. Then I was told my son needed an ipad for educational and communication needs. I knew there was no way I could ever afford a ipad. We were told about a brand new autism orgsnization from our home state. We were invited to kulturecity's very first Gala. There they gave out not one but five ipads to kids with autism from multiple states inside the U.S. Three from Alabama, one from Georgia and one fromTexas. I knew right then. They were created to truly help kids with autism. A community of acceptance is truly what they are. They also help teens with autism as well which makes them different than the rest. They stand with us and we stand with them.! They more than deserve to win this contest. Please visit their page. www.kulturecity.org the number of children helped in the short time they have been open speaks for itself.

Kulturecity truly cares about the autism community. They go above snd beyond to help families with autism.

I thought I already wrote a review but I can't seem to find it. So I'm going to write another. I knew of Toys Aucross America. He and his son sent my son a stationary set because he loves to draw. I loved what eh was doing to help put a smile on kids with autism faces. One day he asked me to attend a event Kulturecity was having in Birmingham last February. A little back ground on my son.... he has learning disabilities and he don't write well. Unfortunately a few years back we had to sue our school system to get him the help he needed in school. They were suppose to provide my son with a ipad for his educational needs and to use as positive reinforcement ( they found a loop hole). Anyway After Michael contacted and told me about Kulturecity being a nonprofit for kids with Autism and said the founder invited a specific number of families from his toys page to attend. I said sure I'll go I will support anything that helps kids with autism. The only specifics I knew about the event was it was a night of basically relaxation and adult conversation for families with kids on the spectrum. We got to meet other families who's children had autism, had a great time, great food and heard stories from other families that live with autism daily just like we do, We also heard some great music. At the end of the event Julian took the stage announced to the audience they had a special guest table that night and told that we represented Toys Aucross America and told about what TOYS done and also told them that everyone at our table had a child/children with Autism and he said that Kulturecity wanted to present each family with a ipad for their child on the spectrum. I was floored. I felt kind of bad because everyone else cried during the autism video presentation ( I didn't). I just sat there nodding my head like yepp that's right that's how it goes. Then when names were called for the ipads others were crying as they got theirs, I didn't all I could say was he's not going to sleep for a week lol. Why did I not cry? I think it's because my son is 17 now I have done had many years of crying for many reasons and I'm not going to allow it to make me cry anymore. Autism is not our enemy its our teacher. People like Kulturecity and toys Aucross America are the people who truly raise up and take a stand to help our kids make milestones that others say they will never achieve. My son is older, never took a note in class until after he got the ipad from Kulturecity. Two weeks after he got it he came home from school all excited showing me the notes he had taken in Englsih class on his ipad. Since his ipad his socialization has gotten better, his sentence forming has gotten better. I have to say his "friend" james used to say all the time he needed an ipad and how much one would help him. I was like no way it couldn't help that much. Boy was I WRONG! I'll admit it, I'm not perfect I thought he was nuts for thinking that lol. But after the progress he has made since having it. I'm the one that's nuts for not believing this one thing could have such a positive impact on my son. After my experience with Kulturecity I decided I was going to back them full force. I started volunteering had others I know do the same. It's organizations like this who truly help kids/families of autism and they give the most back to these kids who need them the most! I am proud to say I STAND WITH KULTURECITY!
