Imagine being the parent of a child with special needs.

Imagine spending countless hours searching for places where your child will be welcomed, understood, and included.

For many families in our community, that is a daily reality.

At Avy and Pop's World, we believe every child deserves a place where they can laugh, learn, explore, and simply be themselves.

That is why we provide free one-on-one play sessions for children and adults of all abilities throughout Craven County and surrounding communities. Families can reserve one-hour or two-hour sessions in a safe, sensory-friendly environment filled with educational toys, learning activities, sensory resources, games, and opportunities for connection.

The best part?

There is absolutely no cost to the families we serve.

Every smile, every moment of joy, every breakthrough, and every memory made inside our center is made possible through the generosity of people who believe inclusion matters.

Today, I am asking you to become one of those people.

Your one-time gift can help us:

• Purchase sensory toys and learning materials

• Replace worn equipment and supplies

• Expand resources for children and adults with disabilities

• Maintain a safe and welcoming environment

• Ensure families continue receiving services free of charge

Whether your gift is $25, $50, $100, $250, or more, every dollar directly impacts the lives of families in our community.

I often think about what inclusion truly means.

Inclusion means a child doesn't have to wonder if they belong.

Inclusion means a parent doesn't have to worry if their child will be accepted.

Inclusion means creating a place where differences are celebrated and everyone is welcomed.

That is exactly what we are building at Avy and Pop's World.

Would you consider making a one-time donation today and helping us continue providing this resource to the families who need it most?

Together, we can create a community where every child is welcomed, included, valued, and celebrated.

Thank you for believing in our mission and for considering a gift that will make a lasting difference.

With gratitude,

Erica Smith
