This dedicated space would allow us to expand our classes, workshops, performances, and life-skills programs, while also providing community resources and creating opportunities to support children with disabilities, special needs families, and low-income families.

A Christmas MIRACLE...
In these days, it’s hard to see the light with everything happening politically and California’s homeless epidemic, along with so many individuals living in poverty. We at Don’t Be a Sap are trying to bring a little Christmas and holiday spirit back to Southern California this holiday season.
We raised enough money to create a Christmas Miracle by donating 1,300 ASL toys to the Deaf and special needs schools and organizations in the Southern California area, while also supporting underprivileged families with essential furniture for their homes and even A CAR.
Each organization is hosting its own Christmas event. We delivered the ASL toys to these organizations, passing them out during their events or close to Christmas. The furniture was gifted to families, foster youth, and single-parent households.
The Nugget sign language toys have been a wonderful gift for underprivileged children with disabilities, providing them with valuable resources. In addition, the furniture helped transform their living spaces into homes, creating a more welcoming atmosphere.
Thank you for helping us put a little more Christmas magic in the air! You can also donate to the Giving Tree campaign and join our efforts to foster an inclusive community and support children with disabilities. Donate Now!
