Holly Robinson Peete and Dr. Michele Kong Expand Autism Resources Through Two Organizations
Actress Holly Robinson Peete and Dr. Michele Kong appeared on ABC News to discuss their work supporting families affected by autism through two organizations: KultureCity and the HollyRod Foundation.
Actress Holly Robinson Peete and pediatrician Dr. Michele Kong spoke with ABC News about their efforts to help families dealing with autism through two major organizations.
Peete's HollyRod Foundation started in 2000 after her son was diagnosed with autism. The organization helps families access affordable autism treatments and therapies, which can be extremely expensive. So far, the foundation has helped over 50,000 families and provides free autism resources on its website.
Dr. Kong works with KultureCity, another organization focused on autism support. Together, these groups represent a growing trend of celebrity-backed charitable giving. According to Candid, foundation giving increased 2.5% to $75 billion in 2019, with foundations accounting for 17% of total charitable donations.
The HollyRod Foundation's website offers expert information about autism signs, diagnosis, and comprehensive support resources. The organization's main mission remains helping families who struggle to afford proper autism treatments for their children.
Over 50,000 families have received help from these programs. If you have a child with autism, these organizations offer free resources and help families find affordable treatments that can cost thousands of dollars.
Both organizations continue expanding their autism support programs and resources for families.
