Storytelling changes lives.

Julia Erman


For families affected by disability, fitting in can be an uphill battle. They often face a lack of compassion or understanding from others. But imagine a world where those gaps in empathy are closed, where everyone feels seen, heard, and valued—regardless of their abilities. That’s the change we’re driving at The Hazelnut Movement. Through storytelling, our books, and assembly programs, we’re building bridges of understanding and compassion between those with disabilities and the communities around them.


The power of these stories became clear after we hosted an assembly at our local YMCA summer camp. A month later, Hazel and I were walking to the childcare room when a group of kids from the camp spotted us in the hallway. As soon as they saw Hazel, they ran over, shouting her name, and wrapped her in the biggest hugs. These were the same kids who, not long ago, might have felt unsure or scared by Hazel’s disabilities. NOW, THEY GREETED HER WITH WARMTH AND COMPASSION.


This is just one heartwarming example of the transformation we’re witnessing through The Hazelnut Movement. Children and adults leave our programs with a deeper sense of compassion—not only for those with disabilities but for themselves and everyone around them.


Join Us in Making a Difference


We’re excited about the impact The Hazelnut Movement is having, and we’d love for you to be part of this journey. Each dollar you give will help foster greater understanding among those who don’t face daily challenges with disability, while also creating a more inclusive and supportive world for those who do.


To fully fund our programs this year and reach even more lives, we need to raise $30,000. Your support will help us continue this critical work, spreading compassion and understanding to those who need it most.


Thank you for considering partnering with us. Your generosity will make a lasting difference in many lives.


Blessings,


Julia Erman

Founder of The Hazelnut Movement
