Joshua’s Gift is hosting its annual gala for autism at the Club at Castlewood in Pleasanton, California on Saturday, November 16th, and we are hoping you will join us.
For generations, autism diagnoses have been rising at an astonishing rate, with some of the greatest need for help and support existing in disenfranchised and underprivileged communities.
Attending Joshua's Gift Annual Gala is crucial as it unites community leaders, professionals, and compassionate individuals who share the vision of improving the lives of those with autism. By attending, you can network with like-minded people and directly contribute to funding sensory rooms in schools, providing a safe environment for individuals with autism to learn and thrive.
Moreover, the gala's funds support training programs for first responders, equipping them to better handle emergency situations involving individuals with autism. It also meets the financial needs of underprivileged families, offering essential resources and support. Your participation and generosity will significantly impact creating a more inclusive society for individuals living with autism.
Join us at the Joshua’s Gift Annual Gala for an evening of fun and entertainment that goes beyond fundraising. This special event is about more than just raising money; it's an opportunity to build connections, deepen understanding, and support crucial programs that truly impact the lives of individuals with autism and their families.
Here are where your donations are going to:
Six sensory room installations for autistic children
CODE Joshua Trainings for 3,000 First Responders
Vital financial aid and relief to families facing hardships.
500+ toys plus sensory boxes for Joshua’s Gift Annual Holiday Toy Giveaway
250 backpacks filled with school supplies and sensory items for students in special day classes
Parents with the gift of childcare and a dinner for two, allowing them to enjoy a relaxing date night.
Social outings to take our families to sporting events, movies, concerts, amusement parks, and restaurants
3 hours of speech or occupational therapy for a child or an adult on the autism spectrum.
A movement and music group lesson for up to 10 children.
How we Support our Families
Educational Needs
-
The Brown family lives in Oakland and they have 3 children on the autism spectrum. During COVID, the Brown family had 1 table for their children to do all of their activities. The Brown family needed school desks and chairs so that their twins on the autism spectrum could be separated and learn separately. Joshua's Gift provided individual desks and chairs for them.
Emotional Needs
-
Lisa lost her mother who was her sole provider. When Lisa's mom passed away, Lisa was institutionalized. She went into a depression, lost a lot of weight, and was refusing to eat. The cousin of hers got the news where Lisa was located and took on the responsibility of bringing Lisa and moving her into a care home. During COVID, Lisa was unable to attend her regular day program. Her favorite activity was to assemble jumbo legos. It was a calming solution for her over-sensitive system. But, the family could not afford to get the legos for Lisa and they heard about Joshua's Gift and reached out to us to purchase them. We purchased the largest size jumbo legos we could find and sent them to Lisa. Here sadness and depression turned into joy and happiness.
Medical Needs
-
Gina and her family had to travel to Philadelphia to visit the only physician in the country who could treat her. We were glad to cover the expenses for their daughter's medical appointment.
Financial Needs
-
A family going through difficult times during the holidays reach out to Joshua's Gift and we invited them to our toy drive to receive Christmas gifts. Additionally , we provided them with a check to cover meals and household essentials throughout the holiday season.
