Kid Talk -- Donate/Help a Great Cause


As most of you know Ethan has been receiving speech services now for almost a year through the Oregon Scottish Rite Clinic in Portland. He has been seen there twice a week and has made significant progress with his speech. The Scottish Rite is the only program that I am aware of that will work with your income (our insurance does not cover any of Ethan's therapies.) They are primary funded by donations of individuals -- patients fees and insurance payments only provide about 20% of the money required to operate.
This year they are experiencing severe financial difficulty, and without help, they will not be able to provide services throughout the state at their current levels.

Scottish Rite is a nonprofit organization and all donations are tax deductible. Their federal tax identification number is 93-0811823. If you are going to possibly make a charitable donation this year PLEASE consider donating to Scottish Rite. Also, if you work for a corporation they may match charitable donations.

If you can not afford to make a donation Ethan will be selling raffle tickets for $5 each, and the prize is a 1980 Mustang convertible. I will mail tickets to anyone who is interested.

This organization is very near and dear to our hearts, and to many families. If you can help, please don't hesitate!
