“MYAH’S FACE LIT UP WITH JOY
AS SHE RODE THAT TOY
CAR ALL BY HERSELF!”
Dawn’s eyes well up with tears every time she recalls the moment her
daughter Myah unwrapped the shiny white toy car. For the Muskego couple,
it was the first time they gave their 6-year-old a gift that didn’t come from a
physical therapy toy catalog.
Born eight weeks early, Myah was diagnosed with Down syndrome, cortical
blindness and receptive-expressive language disorder. Within a month of
being part of the United Way-funded early education program at Vision
Forward, Myah’s parents saw remarkable progress.
Last year, 80% of children who participated in United Way-funded Early
Education programs also improved in the development of both social and
emotional skills.

readiness to the collaborative partnership with United Way.
