Your SSP Team has been proactive in raising awareness and funds for the tragedies related to hurricanes Harvey, Irma and Maria. Our hearts are crashed by the tragedy that has been taking place in Puerto Rico. Help has been slow so far and this one touches very close to home as some of our own SSP Team members have family over there. We have learned that families recovering from the destruction hurricane Maria brought are in urgent need of simple things like Diapers. We can't just sit and watch. We have the power to help. Please join us by donating what you can to the UNITED for PUERTO RICO FOUNDATION. |

LOCAL SCHOOLS OUTREACH

Please, join us in our journey by visiting the following school websites: OUR FREE CLASSES: BRINGING FAMILIES TOGETHER
The foundation of a community is its ability to create together by being together. Our free classes are designed to teach new skills to our parents but also to bring together a group of people that otherwise would have probably never met. We ask our attendees to share their numbers and emails and to make a friend while learning new essential parenting skills. Help us spread the word around and make a new friend today. Helping the Lew Family
Our hearts are broken for our SSP family who tragically lost their son Joshua on Monday, March 5th 2018 when a reckless driver ran a red light striking 4 people. The best way to help at this time is to send donations through their Go Fund Me page at https://www.gofundme.com/lauren-amp-charles-lew Thank you for your help. |
Our Charities and Partners
JONAH'S JUST BEGUN FOUNDATION
Dr. Cao and your SSP Team has been working with the Jonah's Just Begun Foundation for a number of years in the effort to raise funds and awareness about the Sanfilippo Syndrome, a rare disease that affects Dr. Cao's little friend and patient Jonah. Dr. Cao was instrumental in helping diagnose Jonah with this rare condition when Jonah was just 1 year old. At that time there was very little research and no medication available. Jonah's mom, Jill Wood has taken this matter into her own hands ad with perseverance, courage, strength and some help she has been able to assemble a team of scientists to start research. The road is long but the goals are achievable. We need your help to help this family. Please DONATE if you can. " My best friend Jonah has a very rare disease called San Filippo Syndrome. Jonah is just like any other kid, but Jonah is fighting against time. Help US raise funds for a cure please. " - Dr. Cao SSP BUSINESS PARTNERS
