Have you seen this fundraiser coming up tomorrow night?  It’s to benefit TLC a great group that’s helping kids.  I plan to attend and hope that you’ll forward this to everyone you know.  

Since the organization began almost 35 years ago, TLC (Therapeutic Living Centers/ www.tlc4blind.org) has worked to provide for the lifetime needs of babies, children, teens and adults who are blind and autistic and live in Southern California.

We are in the final stages of a Capital Campaign to build a preschool and center for our kids program (The Conrad Hilton Foundation gave $4.5 million, Ahmanson Foundation $250,000 and Keck Foundation $250,000!!). Our event goal is to raise the remaining $175,000 that is needed to begin building the preschool and children’s center, and help support our Early Intervention Program. We serve children from all areas of Los Angeles, as well as the Valley. Currently the only preschool for the children we work with is in downtown Los Angeles. I can’t imagine any three year old getting on a school bus from San Fernando to downtown Los Angeles…it’s even more frightening and sad to know that these children are not only autistic but cannot see — they have a visual disability too. The need is urgent.

I’m inspired by the kids we serve, their siblings, and their families every single day at TLC! No matter what challenges they are facing, their thankfulness for the help and support that they get lets me know that the work we do as an organization is invaluable…its life changing…it’s critical in giving these kids and their families hope for the future..and that’s why any help to publicize our event and cause would be incredible!!
