Review for KultureCity, Vestavia Hills, AL, USA
I am the parent of 2 sons who have Autism. It definitely has been a challenge to be a parent to two children with special needs and I am so fortunate that there are nonprofits like Kulturecity. What I love about Kulturecity is that they provide actual support to individuals with Autism and their families. So many nonprofits take so much of their money for administrative fees or to fund research that does not actually benefit anyone who has Autism. Kulturecity actually supports individuals with Autism in a very meaningful and tangible way.
One of my favorite projects that they support is lifeBOKS, a kit that has many helpful items to help keep children with Autism who wander safe. Both of my boys wander and I can't even begin to explain the terror I have felt when they have gotten out of my sight for even a moment. This project truly can help save lives. Just this past week a child with Autism lost his life because of wandering. I have been proud to support Kulturecity and lifeBoks.
They also provide tablets to individuals with Autism. For our oldest who is non-verbal, an iPad truly has been life changing. It is amazing to hear him communicate (and sometimes argue or nag!) with his device. It is something that every child with Autism should have access to and Kulturecity has provided 972 tablets and counting!!
Kulturecity has also very deservingly received the following awards:
Microsoft Upgrade Your World - October 29, 2015,
Tom’s of Maine 50 States of Good-December 3, 2015 and
Winner of Great Nonprofits 2015 non profit award- December 23, 2015
Every dollar that is donated supports individuals with Autism. Let's all stand with Kulturecity!
