Father Zachary


We need your support to help Sophia’s and NEWHD to continue our mission to create audio jobs for people on the autistic spectrum and with additional needs. We are doing all we can to make a difference in the lives of those who want to be loved and accepted for who they are as people.
Everytime I listen to NEWHD on the NEWHD Radio App and hear one of our radio personalities, I can’t help but feel happy for them. I have experienced many tears of joy along the way as well. We are changing lives and you can help as well. Please donate today.
