UCP Seguin Foundation Annual Appeal

“To make a difference is not a matter of accident, a matter of casual occurrence of the tides. People choose to make a difference.” — Maya Angelou

At the heart of every transformation is one. One idea. One act. One person who chooses to make a difference.

That’s the Power of One.

For decades, we have partnered with Infinitec to empower children and adults with disabilities to communicate, connect, and reach their potential. It began with one device placed in the hands of a child who could not speak—and from that moment, an entire world opened. One voice led to confidence. One connection led to belonging. One act of kindness led to a lifetime of hope.

Last year, with your help, that ripple of kindness reached thousands. Students in more than 2,000 schools across three states gained equal access to learning. Adults and children in 52 social service agencies discovered tools that foster independence and connection. Educators, therapists, and families learned how to better support those they serve—all because of people like you, who believe one contribution can change everything.

This year, we’ve seen an even greater need for our help—and we are responding. We’re expanding accessibility beyond voice and communication, ensuring that every person can participate fully in their communities. We’re modernizing our mobile app used by teachers and paraprofessionals to enhance learning in real time, and redesigning our website to make it more accessible, intuitive, and inclusive. Each of these steps is one act of progress—building bridges to opportunity, connection, and hope.

But none of this happens without you. One donor. One moment of compassion. One decision to say yes.

When you give, you’re not just funding technology—you’re fueling possibility. You’re empowering individuals to live more independently, to communicate, to dream, and to thrive within their community.

The Power of One begins with you.
