The perfect fit! 🏫✨
There is nothing like the feeling of belonging to a team, and this week we are beaming with pride for Alice!
Volunteer opportunities like this are so much more than "just a shift." They are where confidence is built, new skills are sharpened, and community roots are grown.

SHOUTOUT to Saint Thomas the Apostle Catholic School (Grand Rapids, MI)
Thank you for being an inclusive partner and for opening your doors and hearts. You aren't just giving Alice a place to help out; you’re giving her a platform to shine. 💜

💜This is the month of cherishing. To cherish something is to hold it dear, to protect it, and to nurture it. This month, we are taking a moment to cherish the connections, the community, and the people who make our mission possible.

The truth is, our goal of breaking barriers and creating inclusion doesn't happen in a vacuum. It happens because of YOU!

To our Individual Supporters,
As we look at everything we’ve accomplished so far, we wanted to take a moment to say thank you. Whether you’ve donated, shared our posts, or volunteered your time, you are the heartbeat of this organization. You prove that small acts of advocacy lead to massive shifts in inclusion. We see you, and we appreciate you.

To our Business Partners & Event Sponsors,
You’re doing more than just putting a logo on a banner. By partnering with us, you’re helping build a world where everyone has a seat at the table (and a meaningful place to work). Your commitment to our mission provides the stability and resources we need to grow every single day.
Thank you! 💜

🌟New Blog Alert!
Learn about Will's story from our Executive Director, Dirk Bakhuyzen!

"The right support can turn uncertainty into independence, and risk into reward."

When my wife, Phyllis, and I first considered adopting our son, Will, we knew it would be a leap of faith. We realized that by the time he finished school, I’d be 67 and Phyllis 64. Raising a child with Down syndrome later in life would be a challenge — but it was also an […]
