Dear Eden II Friends & Families,
I can’t share specific stories because of privacy obligations, but I can share that in 30 years of working for Eden II, I have always had deep respect for so many amazing Direct Support Professionals. I am honestly blown away by the level of dedication, compassion, concern, and love being shown day in and day out for the individuals with autism our agency serves.
We have launched a campaign to benefit those staff who are working directly with our participants in our residences or in the homes of our families now during the COVID-19 pandemic.
We are trying to raise funds to support those doing some of the most difficult frontline work. Hopefully at least enough so they can replace some of their bleach-solution-wrecked clothes from the past few weeks. And also...just so they know people know what they are doing, quietly and professionally and humbly, in group homes and family homes, and that we are all so very grateful for it.
If you are in a position to do so, please consider making a donation today by clicking here or visiting our Facebook fundraising page below.
Sincerely,
Eileen Hopkins, Ph.D.
Deputy Executive Director
