  When Nathan was diagnosed with cerebral palsy, he was just 9 months old. The news was devastating to his family, as they live in Jamaica where services are extremely limited. Feeling lost, out of their depth and alone, the Ebanks family struggled for years seeking answers. This became the Segway for mother Christine, to become one of the leading voices of advocacy for children with disabilities and their families in Jamaica. Christine used her her experience to build a platform to carry the voices of children and their families in Jamaica. She established the Nathan Ebanks Foundation in 2007, and since then, has organized scores of workshops, training and other intervention initiatives which has benefited thousands of children and their families. This volunteer opportunity will support us in promoting and marketing key resources and programs which will add value to the lies of children with disabilities and their families and caregivers. Our goal is to grow our audience, promote our online programs and resources. Your contribution will help us to generate much needed revenues, grow our audience, increase disability sensitization and support.
