A Different Path - A voice for families raising children with special needs

A Different Path is a newsletter for and by families of special needs children and adults in Washtenaw County. For many years, the volunteers who write and produce the newsletter have done so on a shoestring, while managing to come up with interesting, heartfelt essays on life with disabilities. Now they need your help.

Expenses (which are kept to a minimum) are outpacing revenues. If you would like to donate to keep them running, they could use every penny; no amount is too small. They are also looking for some help to obtain funding through a grant. If you know of anyone who could help, please let them know. Volunteers for the newsletter are always welcome!

A Different Path is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization - all donations are tax deductible. The newsletter is published four times a year and is distributed to about 550 families. In 2008, they started offering A Different Path electronically as an email attachment and they encourage more families to switch to this method of distribution to save on mailing and printing costs.
