The initiative will benefit Dominican families through specialized programs developed by two institutions dedicated to supporting people with ASD
SANTO DOMINGO.– As part of its social responsibility program, ApartamentosRD made a donation of RD$1,000,000 to support specialized therapies for children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), a condition that impacts thousands of families in the Dominican Republic.
The funds were allocated to the Manos Unidas por Autismo Foundation and Preventive LTH, organizations that work to provide care and support to children on the autism spectrum, as well as to support their families. The contribution will allow for expanded access to specialized treatments for children selected through an evaluation process.
Commitment to child development
The company explained that this action responds to its commitment to generate a positive impact beyond the real estate sector, contributing to the well-being and integral development of vulnerable communities.
According to the real estate agency, therapies for children with ASD are an essential tool for strengthening communication, learning, autonomy, and social integration skills. However, their cost often becomes a barrier for many families, so initiatives like this help reduce that financial burden and expand access to care.
Support for Dominican families
Robert De La Cruz, CEO and founder of ApartamentosRD, stated that the company seeks to support causes that generate real changes in people's lives.
“We believe that companies have a responsibility to contribute to the well-being of communities. This year we wanted to support families living with autism and help more children access therapies that promote their development, independence, and a better quality of life,” she said.
Commitment to inclusion
ApartamentosRD stated that it will continue to promote social impact initiatives aimed at fostering inclusion and creating opportunities for sectors that require greater support.
Families interested in participating in the beneficiary selection process can obtain information through the official channels of ApartamentosRD and the participating institutions.
