FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
NEW JERSEY - The Special Needs Ambassador Program, launched by Drive4Rebecca, is providing free copies of The Special Needs Parent Handbook to libraries around the country and around the world.
Kicked off with a very generous gift of $5000 from the parents of a child with autism, and the donation of books at cost from AuthorHouse, ambassadors are delivering books to their local libraries so that families unable to afford one can gain access to the book and become stronger advocates for their children with special needs.
After learning about the ambassador program, Tony Dos Santos, of Medisca, Inc. made a matching donation of $5000 donation to help print 3000 books.
Drive4Rebecca has been partnering with not for profit organizations that serve families in need to distribute free copies - United Cerebral Palsy of NYC has ordered 1500 books - and volunteers have answered the call in several states and internationally.
“Ambassadors” in India and China are working on translations, a Spanish version is underway in New Jersey, and a 9th grader in Florida has agreed to be an ambassador in his area. The goal is 11 languages in 11 countries in ’11 and long term a free copy of the book in every library around the world.
