Women History Month's Autism Mom Honorees |
In recognition of Women's History Month in March
Nassan's Place was honored to recognize a few amazing and phenomenal autism moms helping to make a difference in the lives of children and families affected by Autism in and around their communities.
These awesome and caring women were chosen because of their commitment to helping not only their own children on the autism spectrum but also helping other families affected by autism. They delivered food, sensory items, provided emotional support, childcare and other supports especially during the last year due to the many unexpected challenges due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
Thank you to the following who donated lunch, massages, fruit basket, wine and or ShopRite giftcards to the honorees: Newark Council President Mildred Crump, Chateau of Spain, Massage Envy in Berkeley Heights, Scott's Flowers, Patricia Wilson, Janet Mino and Zelma Crump
