"Stand strong in the face of adversity, for true strength lies in holding your ground and doing what’s right, even when it’s not easy."
On behalf of Poppy Bank we want to extend our heartfelt thanks to Meristem, Zoe Fishman and Lisa McCargar for inviting us to spend time on their campus. Witnessing firsthand the incredible work they are doing to empower young adults with autism was both inspiring and humbling. Meristem’s mission to help young adults transition into independent living and meaningful careers is transforming lives and creating a brighter future for so many. Their dedication, both on and off campus, exemplifies what it means to truly make a difference. We are excited about the opportunity to collaborate with Meristem and support their initiatives. Partnerships like this remind us of the power of community and the impact we can achieve together. Thank you again, Meristem, for welcoming us and for the amazing work you do every day. We’re grateful to be part of your journey and look forward to the incredible work ahead!
