You have the Power to Help

California BrainWaves is a local nonprofit that supports Special Needs Families with brain and developmental disabilities. Brain tumors, cancers, aneurysms, ADHD, Autism, Alzheimers, seizures, mental illness: there are more than 400 brain disorders. Everyone knows someone with a brain or developmental disability. Oftentimes, you can't tell by looking at the person.  California BrainWaves has the vision of creating Neurodiversity Campuses for loved ones to remain living together instead of their disabled loved one being institutionalized, funneled into alternative schools and for-profit jails and prisons, or homeless on the streets.
