Why our ChangeMakers support people who stutter

“I choose to be a ChangeMaker so that the NSA is able to continue their work to find and embrace everyone who stutters but does not yet know that the NSA exists.”

Allison D.

“The NSA has had a radical effect on my personal and professional life. Through their programs, I have formed long-lasting friendships, developed confidence, and widened my worldview. I hope to continue supporting the NSA for as long as I am able.”

Gabby P.

“Our monthly support of the NSA helps to provide lasting, important resources and connections not just for us, but for the future generations of [people who stutter] who come after us.”

Jean F.
