Help Support Us!

I started Mentoring Tiny Humans about ten years ago with an idea and a goal: to create neurodiversity-affirming opportunities, a safe space, resources, and community for my son and others who wanted the same. I wanted a truly welcoming environment where ALL children of ALL abilities and their caregivers felt comfortable to learn, grow, and be themselves without the fear of judgment, obligation, attendance quotas, or stress. 
​
I am proud of what I have accomplished thus far—providing one-of-a-kind events, classes, and learning opportunities. I have worked with community partners, non-profits, and the Riverside County Library system to create community and city-wide events. I have provided education and tools to many local organizations and businesses on how to incorporate more neurodiversity-affirming practices and supplied them with free sensory spaces. I have helped families understand their loved ones better and helped them find solutions and strategies that meet their loved ones where they are. 
 
I believe in Mentoring Tiny Humans and put so much into what we have built together. I have tried to maintain all that we do, in part because I know many families rely on it. I know first hand what it feels like to find resources only to have them stripped away and I never want to do that to others. However, I have done so to the detriment of my physical, mental, and financial well-being. 
 
I have poured my heart into Mentoring Tiny Humans and despite the impact we’ve made, Mentoring Tiny Humans has never been self-sustaining. I have personally funded sensory spaces, educational resources, and most of our events, with ticket prices only covering basic materials. Now, the costs have become too much to bear alone.

Our van, which is essential for transporting supplies, needs a new engine. Business expenses like insurance, licensing, website fees, and inventory are mounting and attempting to gain our non-profit status is costly. On top of that, I am facing personal medical costs and the high price of finishing my education. 
 
I am reaching out because I want to keep Mentoring Tiny Humans running for the families who rely on us.
