Your Donation Supports

The Unicorn Childrens Foundation Inc

For Sam: Unicorn Children's Foundation is dedicated to supporting innovative education, advocacy, and awareness programs that inspire and empower people with neurodiversity to lead personally fulfilling lives. Neurodiversity encompasses a range of neurologically-based disorders such as autism, Asperger's, ADHD, bipolar, dyslexia, and other learning disorders. We have chosen to view these disorders from a different perspective by seeing each child as uniquely capable and talented with specific strengths and interests that should be cultivated. In essence, every individual, regardless of his/her "disability", deserves an opportunity to lead a fulfilled and productive life.
