Graphic Designer | United Way Employee | Mother | ADVOCATE I LIVE UNITED by spreading the word about services and programs that are out there to help children and families. Many times people who may need assistance either don't realize it or don't know where to look for the right type of help. I try to use what I've picked up at United Way and in my experience as a mother to help people find out about ways to get help. Most recently, I wrote a post on SpeakUnited, United Way's issue-based blog about an experience I had accessing early intervention services for my daughter. My daughter is not what most people would expect of a child who would be in Early Intervention, but she is truly an example that any child—regardless of ethnicity, financial background and location—can need an extra boost to get them on track for early learning. Eleven people responded to my post, and they, I hope in turn told others. Because the more informed we are, the better we can support our children.
