- The non-profit collaboration Middletown Childrens Project is accepting donations of XOs for distribution to elementary school children0
The Berkley family in Iowa---- We have 2 little girls' we are adopting and had a biological daughter with Angelman syndrome. Sadly our bio daughter passed away in 2006 from Meningitis. Children with Angelman syndrome can not speak so are unable to communicate without some sort of program working for them. We are looking for a user friendly compute for the girls' like the XO. Thank you in advance for any consideration in a donation of an XO as raising children with special needs can be very costly and communication devices are not something easy to get through insurance as they are not " medically necessary". Thanks you again. Cindy jcberkley94@msn.com
