Neil Squire’s Makers Making Change program is launching their second annual #HackingForTheHolidays campaign to make sure that play is accessible to all kids with disabilities this holiday season.
Last year, we raised $28,000 and delivered over 600 toys and 900 switches to children with disabilities across Canada. For 2023, we are shooting even higher. With a fundraising goal of $100,000, we are aiming to build 2,000 toys, switches, and video game joysticks, host over 100 events across all 10 provinces, and make sure that play is accessible to all kids with disabilities this holiday season.
“I have never seen him laugh and giggle so much with a toy before,” his mother Cheryl shares from Miramichi, New Brunswick. “Chester loves Peppa Pig, but he has absolutely fallen in love with the dinosaur.”
It was an incredible year for Makers Making Change. Over the course of the year, we hosted and participated in 164 events, we delivered 2,382 devices to people with disabilities, engaged 3,242 volunteers, and our #HackingForTheHolidays campaign was a huge success.
We did it! Thanks to your support, we have hosted over 100 events, and delivered 540 adapted toys and 824 switches to children with disabilities across Canada.
