HARRIS FAMILY FOUNDATION

Connect: due to the pandemic, many families with kids newly diagnosed with a disability don't know any other families going through the same thing. We bring these families together for community events. We do this in partnership with direct service organizations working with eachcommunity (i.e.: special olympics chapters, groups serving children with down syndrome or autism, etc.). Connecting these charities is also part of the goal to help look at larger issues impacting the community.- these activities are conducted in latin america and the caribbean.- 15 percent of the organization's time is allocated to this activity. - it will be funded through donations and sponsorships.- 15 percent of the organization's budget will be allocated to this activity.- connections are necessary to help families navigate both the logistical and emotional challenges in raising kids with special needs.

Act: using these connections, we will help identify and fill gaps to serve the disabled community and their families.- these activities are conducted in latin america and the caribbean.- 15 percent of the organization's time is allocated to this activity. - it will be funded through donations and sponsorships.- 15 percent of the organization's budget will be allocated to this activity.- this will be working towards collection action in making the community better for families that have kids with disabilities.

People in service to others often experience on-the-job trauma that they are not equipped to deal with. Examples of this include: front line medical professionals, military personnel, police officers, firefighters, and front-line mental health workers. The programming activities for this arm includes retreats that leverage various healing modalities (i.e.: breathwork, somatic therapy, meditation, etc.). The activities will be conducted by experts in the modality partnered with people from the field of the participants. For example: if we were doing a breathworksession for physicians, it would be led by a breathwork expert and a physician.- these activities are conducted in north america. - 50 percent of the organization's time is allocated to this activity.- it will be funded through fees for service, donations, and sponsorships.- 50 percent of the organization's budget will be allocated to this activity.
