Thank You!

Thank You to Our Supporters and Donors

On behalf of Joshua’s Gift, we extend our heartfelt gratitude to everyone who joined us for our Annual Gala: The Black & White Ball. Your presence and generosity made this elegant evening truly unforgettable.

Together, we celebrated the beauty of individuality and honored those on the Autism spectrum with our guiding motto: Respect. Accept. Include. Your support helps us continue our mission to uplift unity through diversity, empower families, and create a world that embraces every unique voice.

To our donors, sponsors, and guests, thank you for believing in our cause and for helping us make a meaningful impact. Because of you, we can keep spreading awareness, compassion, and acceptance throughout our communities.

With deepest appreciation,
The Joshua’s Gift Team

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.
