Hello friends and family

It is that time of year---my annual appeal to support FUSE, a fantastic non-profit doing amazing work to support individuals and children with disabilities and their families. FUSE offers services, training and support around a wide range of disability issues. Denise started FUSE with her friend Amy in 1996 as a way to connect with other parents of kids with disabilities. Since then Denise and Amy have retired from FUSE, but it continues to expand programs and services that help both children and adults to build skills and abilities that improve their quality of life. They need our support to keep that momentum going!

The FUSE mission is personal to me, not only because it was Denise’s life work for over 20 years, but also because of the benefits to our own children when they were young. Our son Matt now participates in their young adult programs, so we continue to be both supporters and beneficiaries of FUSE services.

Why support Andy with "Strike-A-Difference"?:

* I have a $1500 goal—no amount is too small to help me get there

* I personally support this organization and can attest that every dollar is dedicated to helping those in need.

*I HAVE A SHORT TIME TO RAISE THE FUNDS since the event is February 6!

* It is a non-profit which makes it tax deductible.

If you prefer not to donate on-line, I will accept checks or cash. Let me know and I can tell you where to send that and how to credit it to my fundraising.

I truly appreciate your consideration of donating to FUSE to help these families like mine find services and support to help their children and other family members thrive.

Sincerely,

Andy
