Rebecca’s GOS Class Picture, 2012-13
Dear Friends and Family,
I know you are frequently asked for donations or to buy something for a fundraiser. We all know there are LOTS of really good causes. Because I know many of you already give to many community programs, it is likely you do not feel like giving even more to an unfamiliar or distant non-profit. However, I would like you to please just consider my request of you today. For some this request will seem small, while for others this is no small amount.
****************************************************************
Today (September 20), Green Oaks School is participating in North Texas Giving Day. Would you please consider making a donation of any amount to support this super school?
To donate, just go to: https://www.northtexasgivingday.org/green-oaks-school and make your donation. No donation is too small, and every donation helps support a wonderful group of people.
In addition to donating, will you please forward this to your friends and/or post on your Facebook page?

Please let me tell you why this school is so dear to our family’s hearts:
Green Oaks School and Green Oaks Adult Learning are very specialized, unique programs for people with Down syndrome and other intellectual disabilities.
Those of you who know us are already aware of what a ray of sunshine Rebecca has been in our lives.
Seventeen years ago, when Paul and I were still trying to wrap our heads around our “new normal”, one of the first things that we worried about (after her health, of course) was whether or not she would ever be able to learn. We also wondered if she would have friends as she got older.
