LETI FOUNDATION FAMILY RESOURCE
LETI Foundation has built a huge support system, bringing together a community of families creating a support system for families in need of help. OUR MISSION; It is time to grow, to help provide support and services on a greater scale, and with growth, comes extra expenses. Founder, Theresa, has led and supported others in times of need as she always will, and now the organization has great determination to create the first-ever resources center for supporting families and its members.
THE LETI FOUNDATION IS ACTIVELY SEEKING DONATIONS, SPONSORS, & SERVICE-PROVIDING PARTNERS TO JOIN OUR COMMUNITY.
The LETI CENTER will be a hub for families to gain information on being a new parent to a child with special needs. Be a place for families to come and organically seek in-person support of mental and emotional support, local services agencies, and activities and events for their family member(s) with special needs no matter how young or grown-up. We will provide a support group and educational seminars for new and pre-existing families who need help navigating the system for local and national services.
DETERMINED TO FIND THE ANSWERS AND SHARE THE RESULTS WITH THOSE IN NEED
Being a new parent of a diagnosed newborn with special needs, the search for help and emotional and mental support did not come easy. Realizing there was a gap in the communication between doctors, professionals, and newly diagnosed families. Because of the desire to help fill the break in communication, LETI FOUNDATION formed and developed over time with determination and persistence. The founder, Theresa, has made it possible for many families to receive help in seeking resources, supports, and services they would have otherwise gone without.
