Nassan's Place Celebrates
Two Milestones in 2022
2022 is a big year for us!  Nassan's Place is turning 10 years old! And Nassan, the inspiration for everything we do, is turning 18 YEARS OLD in July!    
 
In honor of our 10 year anniversary and Nassan's 18th birthday, we are asking you to please consider donating $18 or more to help us continue our mission of helping to enrich and make a difference in the lives of the children and families we serve affected by autism in and around under-served inner-city communities!  The more money we raise, the more support and resources we can provide to our families in need.   
 
In 2019, Nassan’s Place was gifted a home of our own by Newark Mayor, Ras J. Baraka and the City of Newark. We cannot thank them enough for their support. Our goal is to utilize the entire lot to build a state-of-the-art autism center which would offer so many wonderful services, programs and others resources to our families, and this would be a center they will be able to call their very own.  BUT... WE CANNOT DO THIS WITHOUT YOUR SUPPORT!
 

We are looking to raise money to kick start this project.  This is how your donation can help! If all of our supporters and followers donate $18 or more, we will be able to continue doing what we do, and also provide so many new opportunities and programs to our families in the future.  ​
​
​The sooner we reach our goal by 7/28/22, which is Nassan's 18th birthday of getting a million people to donate $18 or more, the sooner our families could enjoy all the great things that the Nassan's Place Center for Autism will have to offer for years to come!
 
A zip code should not be the reason a child goes without needed resources in their community to help them reach their full potential in today’s society.

Consider Sponsoring a
Camper
Nassan's Place is excited to share that we will be hosting our 3rd "Weekend Inclusion Respite" for children on the autism spectrum and their siblings at YMCA Camp Linwood.

The weekend will include a host of fun activities including fishing, rock climbing, archery, a talent show, arts & crafts and more.

As our families continue to deal with the many challenges that the pandemic has caused emotionally and financially, we are asking that you consider sponsoring a camper for a memorable weekend of fun and give some autism parents and caregivers some much needed de-stress time.
