Help Sponsor Students on the Autism Spectrum

At Meristem, I witness something extraordinary every single day: young adults on the autism spectrum discovering their voices, building skills, and preparing for lives of independence and purpose.

This Big Day of Giving, I’m asking for your help because right now, three incredible students are at risk of losing the opportunity to continue at Meristem without scholarship support. These students have worked so hard to gain confidence, job skills, social capacity, and the courage to step into adulthood. Additionally, future students need access to scholarships, so I am asking for your support. 

Meristem is more than just a program. It’s a launching pad where neurodivergent young adults build friendships, find their talents, and take their next steps toward employment, independent living, and full community inclusion.

Your gift will make an immediate difference. Even better — thanks to the generosity of a Meristem donor, every donation will be matched dollar-for-dollar up to $10,000!

That means your impact is doubled — and together, we can ensure these three students, and many more, have the support they need to keep moving forward.

Please consider making a donation to my fundraiser today. Your gift isn’t just a donation — it’s an investment in a young adult’s future. It’s a vote of confidence that says: I see your potential. I believe in you.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for standing with Meristem students.
