My Nonprofit Reviews

I am a single mother trying desperately to transition back into the community and am living in a shelter with other women with kids. Marie has gone above and beyond for me, she provided me not only with an iPad 2 for my 3 year old son with a case but also came down to the shelter on Friday nights to help me use it with my son who has autism. Not only did she spend her own time, but she went above and beyond for me and my son. She brought us food for the evening, breakfast for the following morning and even provided some clothing for my son as it was in the middle of winter when we had our first interactions in person after me emailing her and then having her call me back and she offered to help me in any way she could. I am forever grateful for what she has done and continues to do for me because I am looked down upon because I have led a difficult and sometimes troubled life and when ppl know where I live it is embarassing for me to say and they treat me differently. It did not matter to her at all, she only wanted to share with me what worked for her son and provide me with the tools (as she put it) to help him learn. She gave me so much hope. This may not be a big giant non profit but this woman has a kid with autism too much older than my son, and I have learned more from her than since I got the diagnosis from the doctors. I will always be indoubted and greatful to her for not judging me and treating me & my son like we were family and with respect and nothing but kindness towards me and my son. This world not only needs more awareness but it needs more people like Marie Duggan who go that extra mile to help someone she didn't even know in need.....thank you so much Marie. I hope that you succeed, in your mission because you live it and you have taught me more than all those big organizations that are just looking for money and that is something as you know I don't have. Thank you so much and thank you for letting me use your computer too so I could learn some things from you to try and get a job. XO S&P and the rest of the shelter....(they love when you come!)
