A heartfelt thank you goes out to our incredible G.U.D. Life Thrivers and their supportive families, including parents, grandparents, and an aunt, for their unwavering commitment.

The GUD Life Universal Disabilities and Special Needs Community is praying for protection every person in the path of Hurricane Melissa.

We ask a special prayer for Peace, Strength, and Comfort for those families with loved ones who have Autism, Intellectual & Developmental Disabilities, and Special Needs.

Lord God, please surround them with an abundance of patience, understanding, and compassionate care as they adjust to different routines and adapt to unfamiliar surroundings while waiting for the storm to subside.

We thank you for hearing and answering our prayers.
In Jesus' Name, Amen.

St. Timothy's Christian Academy Resource Fair was filled with remarkable opportunities of connection and inspiration! The G.U.D. Life Universal® was honored to be invited to participate. Connecting with parents, families, caregivers, and organizations who share our heart for inclusion, empowerment, and hope.

The many heartfelt conversations to hugs with tears, supportive smiles, every moment reminded us why we serve: to build bridges of Grace, Understanding, and Dignity that strengthen lives today and build brighter tomorrows for individuals with Autism, IDD, and others across the neurodiversity spectrum.

✨ Families felt seen as they discovered new, safe places for their loved ones to thrive.

✨ Directors, partners, and volunteers shared compassion, laughter, and collaboration ideas.

✨ We all stood united with purpose to make a difference in the lives of those we love.

We are immensely grateful for everyone who stopped by our table, picked up materials, celebrated with us, or simply shared a smile. Your presence affirmed that the G.U.D. we do truly builds brighter tomorrows!

✨️ Special Thanks To Mrs. Kathy Lousignont, St. Timothy Christian Academy, and Prestonwood

✨️ We enjoyed reconnecting with so many familiar faces and we were excited to make new connections within the IDD community.

As we continue serving with purpose, we invite you to stay connected, volunteer, and be part of this growing movement of Grace, Unity, and Development. Together, we are Building Brighter Tomorrows — one G.U.D. day at a time!

My heart broke today. 😢💔😢
I was driving through a plaza parking lot when all of a sudden our truck hesitated. {Shout out to Cadillac for cameras and their exceptional safety features! 🙌🏽💯🙌🏽} I looked around to figure out what was happening. To my right, a young man's hand appeared that barely touched the top of our hood. He was only a little taller than the window. There was no way I could have seen him coming up from the side as I was going forward: thank God for protecting him and us! He quickly jetted in front of us unphased by the danger he was in. I immediately realized that he had an Intellectual and Developmental Disability due to his toddler-like mannerisms. I could not get out to help him due to other vehicles pulling in, backing out, and more waiting behind me. He continued zipping between the parked vehicles looking for a familiar face ~ almost like it was a game. 😢 A few doors down and totally unaware of the situation, his dad came out of the business he entered a few minutes earlier. The boy was so happy that he "found" him, he was cheerfully moving, and reached out to grab his hand. However, his dad looked at him with so much disgust and frustration. 😔 The look said, "I can not even fuss at you because you will not understand." As they passed by, he held his head down while looking so defeated by his son's condition...even disappointed ~ as if his eloping was a familiar and repetitive situation for them. 🥹
Although it was painfully heartbreaking to watch, I began to pray for them both. I expressed my sincere gratitude to God for keeping the young man safe. 🙌🏽 If he had gone in the opposite direction, he would have wandered into traffic on an extremely busy highway where those cars might not have stopped in time. I also prayed for other parents like his dad who deeply love their children, but need a replenishment of Heaven's sources.
Lord, please give them extra Peace, Strength, Hope, Wisdom, and Comfort. 🕊 Continue to keep the children safe from all hurt, harm, and danger ~ known and unknown. Grant the parents all that they need to lovingly care for them with unconditional compassion as You love us.
In Jesus' Name, Amen. 🙏🏽😇🙏🏽
