Embrace Kids Foundation is an Australian-based charitable organisation, driven by the cause of supporting and embracing children with special needs along with their families. The founders of the Embrace Kids Foundation (EKF) – Dr Sam Nassar, along with his supportive wife, Natasha who have seven years of medical practice and first-hand experiences involving families with children who have special needs within Sydney. During their years of providing dedicated care for children, Dr Nassar and Natasha were deeply concerned about the hard-hitting issues families with children with special needs were facing. People wanted to donate money, gifts, vouchers and food items. Dr Nassar wanted to accept such generosity ethically so it could have the best impact on these struggling families. This was the advent of the idea of the “Embrace Kids Foundation”. The Embrace Kids Foundation emerged from humble and authentic beginnings. The Embrace Kids Foundation is a not-for-profit foundation and is aptly named “Embrace”, which means “to hold closely in one’s arms, especially as a sign of affection” – this is a true reflection of our mission. We are also committed to our motto: “EMBRACE” – Empowerment, Motivation, Belief, Resilience, Acceptance, Confidence and Education, and we are determined to make a difference. One of our main focuses is to empower parents into seeking early therapeutic interventions which can bring tremendous results in helping special needs children reach their full potential. We also want to bring parents together to share their experiences and increase acceptance within the community. The Embrace Kids Foundation aims to give personalised and meaningful care. We promote love, acceptance and openly reach out to all those who need our support. We believe in making a real difference and empowering families to rise above their challenges.
