This Thanksgiving week, United Cerebral Palsy honors the thousands of Direct Support Professionals and family caregivers whose dedication makes independence possible every single day.

We recognize that true care isn’t just a service — it’s a steady presence, a warm meal, a calming voice, a ride to therapy, a midnight reassurance, a shared laugh, a moment of rest given to a parent who rarely gets any.

To the DSPs who support people with disabilities in their homes and communities and to the family caregivers who give care that can’t be measured: Thank you for being the hands that hold up hope.

Your work strengthens families.
Your compassion builds inclusive communities.
Your commitment empowers people with disabilities to live life without limits.

This month and always, UCP and our affiliates celebrate you for the extraordinary everyday acts that make joy, connection, and belonging possible.
