Kolden and Aithan – Renewals in honor of Laura Kutzli and Rita Seferian
The Klassen family have been around Project iAm and our events for the last several years and have used funding for various resources. Check out this letter from them:
We wanted to extend the biggest heartfelt thank you to you for your selfless support of the scholarships provided by Project iAm. Our 2 boys Kolden and Aithan have been on the receiving end of this generosity for several years now and it never ceases to amaze us. This year your scholarship has provided the guys with enough diapers and wipes for an entire year. This may not seem like a big deal in some people’s eyes but any time you check a box in the daily needs of an autistic child, it takes another worry off your mind!
On behalf of Kolden and Aithan, both Lexy and I wanted to to thank you for your continued support. It means so much to us all!
Seoeon – In Honor of Jason Szczubleski
Seoeon is using funding to take swim lessons at St. James Club! Jason has been with us since day one as an employee at The Village Idiot, the home of Acoustics for Autism. Jason is hoping to open his establishment and become an 11th venue for our next Acoustics for Autism!
