Initiative Spotlight: Kendall — Accessible Playground Refresh

Our Kendall campus needs a safe, accessible turf so every child can move, play, and belong.

We’re raising $10,000 to replace aging surfaces with durable, wheelchair-friendly turf and create sensory-smart play zones.

What this delivers:
• Injury-reducing surface for safer play
• Wheelchair & walker mobility across the whole playground
• Sensory-friendly areas that support regulation and social skills
• More therapy outdoors (OT/PT goals built into play)

Early Giving is LIVE through Nov 20 (12:00 AM ET).

Give Miami Day — final hours (closes 12:00 AM ET)

Tonight we’re spotlighting the two initiatives your generosity is powering:

🚌 Wheels of Hope — Florida City
A reliable school bus means safe daily transportation for our students, fewer missed instructional minutes, and access to therapies, community‐based instruction, and enrichment trips. This fund (goal: $50K) helps us secure the bus and cover essentials so families can breathe easier and students arrive ready to learn.

🌱 Kendall Accessible Playground — Turf Refresh
Our Kendall campus needs a durable, wheelchair-friendly turf upgrade (goal: $10K) that provides better fall protection, cooler surfaces, and year-round play. This project supports sensory regulation, social skill-building so every child can move, play, and thrive.

To everyone who has already shared, volunteered, or given—thank you.

If you’d like to stand with our students before midnight, head to the link in bio and choose The Arc of South Florida.

Every bit of support moves these projects from blueprint to reality. 💜

• Safe, accessible travel with wheelchair tie-downs and climate control
• Less stress for families, more time learning, moving, and thriving
