Non-profit organization provides jobs for autistic artists to sell beautiful products.
POWAY, Calif. — A Poway family that offers inspiration to young adults living with autism wants to share some good news.
The last time I checked in on the non-profit organization they were a start-up in a garage; now they've opened a store in Poway."I feel like I failed my son as a mother," said Rita Nasrallah in 2022. She created the non-profit to help her son Michael who lives with autism."Let's not talk about what they cannot do because there are so many things that they can do," said Rita.
Our worlds were colliding because in the Zevely Zone, we featured several products for sale inside the store. We found Big Al's Best Dark Chocolate Almond Toffee and Oli's Cookies; both are products that are flying off the shelves.29-year-old Nick Imthurn specializes in resin artwork."I just think it's fun and I can create a lot of different things with it," said Nick."A lot of people really like it.
"I just got a paycheck last week," said Michael. How did that feel?"It felt good," said Michael. All of the artists are paid either by the hour or on consignment where they keep 80 percent of the sale."Your jewelry is beautiful," said customer Stephanie Sampson who came in to shop for herself and the cause."I love it. I think it's a wonderful cause and all of these beautiful things that people have done. It just warms my heart," said Stephanie.
