In this season of thanksgiving, we are grateful for the opportunity provided by our generous COMPASS supporters that allows us to help families. Without your donations, many families have no hope for a better future for their children. Your continued generosity will assure that we can continue making the positive life-changes that so many families desperately need:

· $50 helps one family receive an initial special education advocacy and parental rights consultation.

· $100 gives a family an in-depth consultation to develop an individualized Family Action Plan to effectively address and cope with their child’s special needs.

· $250 sponsors one family to receive comprehensive special education advocacy representation, support, and follow-up.

· $500 sponsors one struggling, low-income family to receive a comprehensive range of COMPASS services, including a needs assessment, the development of a customized Family Action Plan, counseling and advocacy to implement their plan.

Please take a moment to consider a gift to COMPASS. Every contribution will truly make a difference by allowing us to continue to serve families in need.
