How is your donation used?

Your generosity doesn’t just fund services; it fuels possibility.

While our service contracts help keep our core programs running, they often don’t cover the full cost of our comprehensive and innovative services.

You help us provide human touches that turn a service into a lifeline.

  • Your support helps a child starting therapy feel safe and seen -- with a soft stuffed animal to hold, or calming sensory tools that make a big, overwhelming world feel just a little gentler.

  • It puts art supplies into young hands that may not have had the chance to paint, draw, or create – and in doing so, opens doors to healing.

  • It helps a struggling parent show up for a parenting class – because you made sure they had a bus pass, or that someone was there to watch their child.

  • It allows A Better Way to maintain our innovative and successful career pathways, helping people transform their “Lived Experience” into “Expertise” so they can build careers in the healing professions.

  • It helps A Better Way stay strong and responsive, covering unexpected costs like urgent building repairs, technology upgrades, or replacing worn-out equipment, so our staff can keep showing up for families without disruption.

These small things aren’t “extras.” They’re essentials. They build trust. They create hope. They give kids and families the chance not just to survive, but to grow, connect, and thrive.

Your donation brings this all to life. And we’re so grateful.
