For our families · Giving Tuesday, December 1
Would you share this for us?
Every year on Giving Tuesday, the gifts that surprise me do not come from our mailing list. They come from someone's cousin. Someone's coworker. A person who has never set foot here and has no idea what we do.
They give because you asked them to. That is the whole thing. We cannot reach those people, and you can, and one post from you goes further than anything we could buy.
So here is everything you need, already written. Copy it, post it, and you are done in about a minute.

One small favor
Please post on December 1, not before
Giving Tuesday works because everything lands on the same day. A post on November 28 gets scrolled past. The same post on December 1 lands in a feed where everyone else is giving too.
Three posts, ready to go

Today is Giving Tuesday, and I'm asking for one thing. Living and Learning Enrichment Center in Northville works with teens and adults with autism and other disabilities on real jobs, real friendships, and the skills to keep both. It has mattered to my family more than I can fit in a post. Any amount helps, and today it goes further. http://weblink.donorperfect.com/llec_givingtuesday
It's Giving Tuesday. Living and Learning is where teens and adults with disabilities build actual careers and actual friendships. More than 300 people come through their doors every week. Link in bio. Any amount. 💙 #GivingTuesday #LivingAndLearning #Northville #Autism
Hey — today's Giving Tuesday and I'm asking a few people I trust. Living and Learning is the place I've told you about, the one that's made such a difference for us. Even $25 helps them today. http://weblink.donorperfect.com/llec_givingtuesday

If somebody asks what Living and Learning is
“It's a nonprofit in Northville that works with teens and adults with autism and other disabilities — helping them get real jobs, keep those jobs, and build a social life. About 300 people go through there every week.”
That is all it takes. You do not need to explain the programs, and you do not need to have the numbers ready. Send them the link and we will do the rest.
Thank you. Truly. — Rachelle
