Thank You

Nassan's Place would like to thank you for your support in helping us to enrich and make a difference in the lives of children and families affected by Autism in and around under-served inner-city communities since 2012.

The Covid-19 pandemic has impacted us all, and as a grassroots non-profit organization, this has proven to be the most challenging time in our 9 years' existence.

We would not have been able to sustain ourselves without the support from the private and public sector. We are forever grateful for all that helped us during these unprecedented times and as we continue to adjust to our new normal.
