“I wouldn’t change you for the world, but I would change the world for you!”
-- Unknown Parent
Every day, parents of children with disabilities and special health care needs face struggles most of us cannot imagine. The current pandemic only increases these challenges for our families.
You can help us connect families throughout our state with the resources and information needed to help their children lead rich, full lives. Make a gift today!
Meet Oliver Burgee
Living with Down syndrome is just one small part of Oliver’s journey. He dreams of becoming a fireman, whose job (according to him) includes saving cats, eating ice cream and passing out balloons to neighborhood children! Even in the face of uncertainty, Oliver’s bravery and strength are a source of courage and pride for his parents. Your donations connect families like the Burgees to the best resources for their children!
You can connect families across South Carolina with the resources they need!
