Be A GEM & Shine for Autism

The COVID-19 virus has impacted many families in the United States at levels not seen in generations. We all hope it will end sooner rather than later. 

When it does end, the need for Autism schools like Giant Steps Day School and Canopy Adult Day Programs will be no less urgent than it is right now. 

Due to this critical need, Giant Steps is asking for your ongoing support to help our kids. Obviously, we are aware that such help must fit into your monthly budget. We have a solution! Please consider registering for the Giant Steps Giving Every Month (GEM) program. From the comfort of your own home, simply donate an affordable monthly amount. Donate as little as $10.00 a month or more…whatever works for you!

Banding together in giving will ensure that Giant Steps will be open and available for individuals with Autism, who will still have a place to call home.  Without your continued support, Giant Steps, Canopy and Christine’s Dream all face a level of uncertainty we have never before seen. 

Autism does not take a vacation.  Autism does not end because teachers and therapists are unable to go to work to help their students.  The families of the Autism Community need Giant Steps. Your kind donation each month will ensure that programs will be ready and able as our students and young adults return, regardless of Illinois’ proposed change in billing rules or the effects of COVID-19.

Please thoughtfully consider what you can fit into your monthly budget to ensure that individuals with autism receive the education and care which they deserve.
