One of our 5th grade students at our school lost his father after a courageous battle with a brain tumor. His father was the primary provider for their family and this loss has left them facing both emotional heartbreak and financial uncertainty.

We are asking our community to come together in support of this young student and his family. Any donation, no matter the amount, can help ease the burden during this unimaginable time. If youโ€™re unable to give, sharing this post can also make a meaningful difference.

Letโ€™s show this family the strength, compassion, and love of our community. Thank you in advanced for your prayers and support for the family during this timeโค๏ธ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿฝ

๐Ÿ’œโœจ Happy Womenโ€™s History Month!

Today we honor โ€” the first Black woman to publish a book (1770). ๐Ÿ“–โœ๐Ÿพ

Born in West Africa and brought to America through the transatlantic slave trade, Phillis spent most of her life enslaved. Yet by just 14 years old, she began writing poetry that would make history. Her work was influenced by the poets of her time, but deeply rooted in her African heritage and her faith. ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿพ๐ŸŒ

Her pen became power. Her words became legacy. And her courage still inspires generations. ๐Ÿ’ซ

Letโ€™s continue celebrating the Black women who paved the way and shaped history with brilliance and resilience.

I just want to say how truly grateful I am for the Virginia State University football players who came out to support our ThisAbility Sweetheart Dance. Theyโ€™ve also showed up and volunteered at our center well ๐Ÿ’™
They were kind, respectful, patient, and so good with our participants. Watching them laugh, dance, help out, and make everyone feel included honestly meant so much to me.
To the parents, you are raising some amazing young men. You should be very proud ๐Ÿ‘

Our Story

We service families who have children with special needs to help make their journey a little easier. There are many resources out there for children with special needs. A lot of those resources many of the parents do not know about. Often it can be very difficult for new parents. We do our best to help educate families while offering emotional support. We also encourage them to be their child's advocate.
