On behalf of our staff and students, I am writing to express our deepest gratitude for your generous donation to our cause. Your support plays a crucial role in helping us achieve our mission, and we cannot thank you enough for your kindness and commitment.\r\n\r\nYour donation of sensory toys, rug, and emotion/ feeling book to support our students with severe autism has made a significant impact on our efforts. With your help, we have been able to give to our students a place where they can regulate their bodies during times of stress. Having a sensory area in our classes allows them to have a space to go and excape to when experiencing these moments.\r\n\r\nIt is the generosity of donors like you that allow us to continue our work and strive towards making a meaningful difference in the lives of those we serve.\r\n\r\nAt Sunrise School, we are committed to our mission of being an educational community that advocates and advances equitable opportunities for every learner.. Every day, we witness the positive changes that are possible when individuals and communities come together to support a common cause. Your contribution is a testament to the power of collective action, and it inspires us to continue our work with renewed energy and dedication.\r\n\r\nWe are excited to share with you some of the successes we have achieved recently, thanks in part to your support. One of our most severe students who desperately needed a sensory area was able to locate on his own the rug and sensory toys! Another one of students were able to use the emotion book to regulate his feeling and even share with me how he was currently feeling in that moment! These stories are a reminder of the real, tangible difference that your generosity has made.\r\n\r\nAs we look to the future, we are filled with hope and determination. There is still much work to be done, and with your continued support, we are confident that we can reach even more milestones. We invite you to stay connected with us and follow our progress through our website (www.aiu3.net) and our social media pages you can find through that link provide. Your involvement is incredibly valuable, and we would love to keep you updated on how your contribution is being utilized.\r\n\r\nOnce again, thank you for your generous support. It is because of caring individuals like you that we are able to continue our mission and bring positive change to our community. Please feel free to reach out to us at any time if you have questions, suggestions, or simply wish to learn more about our work.
