Join TALMAR this Christmas
to Turn a Life Around!
Shane has been working with TALMAR for two years now. He comes in three times a week with a smile on his face and a ready to work attitude. Shane spends a lot of his time in the greenhouse doing a variety of different tasks, from planting seeds to transplanting plants, to organizing pots, he does it all. Shane is an inspiring young man who was born with cerebral palsy and has been in a wheelchair for all 24 years of his life, but this has never stopped him. He says that he loves knowing that the jobs he does makes a difference and he hopes that can inspire many people. He already has. He is a joy to be around and an inspiration for all. Shane has been a part of the TALMAR family for years now. We look forward to working with him and learning together for many years to come.
Just like Shayne’s story, there are many others who need and deserve an opportunity to live a healthy, productive life.
Will you please help?
TALMAR Horticultural Therapy Program
A $25 donation will facilitate Horticultural Therapy for special needs children and individuals with disabilities of all ages. Horticultural Therapy is specifically designed to accommodate the diverse needs of those with developmental disabilities, physical limitations, cognitive challenges, and stroke recovery. Horticultural Therapy maintains or maximizes participants’ optimum level of functioning and promotes positive, meaningful, and active socialization with others.
TALMAR Work-based Learning Project
A $50 donation will provide an individual or small group job-coach for youth with special needs participating in local community-based service programs. While participants are effectively engaged in processes that emphasize career exploration and on-the-job experience, this intensive three-month program prepares them to succeed in real-world conditions to meet or exceed employer expectations.
TALMAR Teen-Trust Initiative
A $100 donation will enable TALMAR to support at-risk youth to achieve their employment goals while improving their physical and mental health and acquire the social skills needed to become productive members of our community. Additionally, participation in TALMAR Teen-Trust Initiative promotes self-sufficiency, builds confidence and self-esteem, increases knowledge, and provides real-life job skills.
Alternatively, a donation of any amount will allow us to use your gift where the need is the greatest.
