Have you shared an act of kindness today, John?
Today, Autism Speaks recognizes and celebrates World Kindness Day. As we work to build a society that includes every person on the spectrum and respects their individuality and talents, it is acts of kindness — large and small, local and global — that will pave the way forward.
And until midnight tonight, you can DOUBLE your kindness for the autism community with our 2X match, up to $50,000! Your 2:1 matched donation goes twice as far to support autistic kids and adults wherever they are on their journey, from early intervention to adult transition to navigating employment, and ensuring quality of life as they age. Double your impact now during our World Kindness Day 2X match >>
If you’re like me, John, a friendly conversation or a small favor or even just a warm smile can turn your day around. People of all abilities and all backgrounds crave kindness, but I’d challenge you today to put yourself in the shoes of someone who may not always be on the receiving end of this shared joy.
People with autism disproportionately continue to face isolation, misunderstanding and bullying in real-world and online environments that no one deserves to experience. We’ve made a lot of progress over the years in spreading the awareness, openness and — yes — kindness that the autism community is due.
But our work is far from over. World Kindness Day is a wonderful moment to roll up our sleeves and recommit to the simple but powerful actions that can actually move the needle in autistic people’s lives, and I hope you’ll join us before midnight.
Your 2X matched donation today is one such action, rooted in kindness, that will ripple forth and improve the everyday lives of autistic people, their caregivers and their families. Give today to claim your World Kindness Day 2X Match and support 2X the people on the spectrum with your love and kindness.
Thank you for everything you do,
Kelli Seely
Chief Marketing Officer
