Hey there, I’m Solomon Green. On Sunday, May 19, I will be walking to raise awareness and funds for an organization and a community that has a special place in my heart.
Since I started volunteering with Friendship Circle in 9th Grade, it has been one of the biggest parts of my life. Not only am I able to bring happiness to my friends every Sunday by doing activities with them like sports, cooking and art, but it is also one of my favorite parts of my week. It makes me so happy to bring joy to my friends and I can see it in the smiles on their faces when we are together. The bonds that I have made through friendship circle will last me a lifetime and bring me so much joy.
Friendship Circle of Connecticut works every day to cultivate friendships between kids, teens and young adults with special needs and dedicated teen and young adult volunteers, providing social and recreational opportunities that are otherwise unavailable to individuals with special needs. Hundreds of friendships have been formed and so many lives have been changed for the better because of this beautiful organization.
Please consider taking an active part in the tremendous impact Friendship Circle has on my community. Any contribution you make will go a long way and mean so much to me. Thank you!!!
