A 10-year-old girl who struggled for years in school is starting a non-profit to help other children like her.
Marin Mangiaracinia was diagnosed with dyslexia, just before the beginning of 4th grade. Mom Julie knew something was wrong when Marin was struggling to keep up in school. Julie says it was a struggle just to get her diagnosed.
“After we got nowhere with the school, we decided to have all her testing done and looked at by other specialists in town including the Scottish Rite. Both informed us based on the test scores they saw, she was dyslexic,” Julie said.
“It made me feel sad and I thought I was dumb,” Marin said, about her struggle to read and do her school work. “I was scared to read out loud in class.”
After hundreds of dollars worth of testing and weeks of after school sessions at the Scottish Rite, Marin went from the 16th percentile to the 68th percentile in her reading scores.
“We were just jumping up and down,” Julie said about receiving Marin’s test scores.
Through her journey, Marin decided she wanted to do more to help kids just like her. So her mom has launched Marin’s Mission 4 Dyslexia, a non-profit to raise money so children can be tested for dyslexia and so they can receive the special assistance they need.
