Filling the Void: A Community of Care
The journey for families impacted by disability is often a marathon run at a sprinter’s pace. Navigating complex systems and constant advocacy often leaves parents running on empty. One parent recently shared: “Your group visited the facility where my son is staying. Thank you for what you are doing! You are filling a great void in the special needs community. Is your new monthly group open to visit?”
This "void" is the gap between isolation and belonging. Closing it requires the coordinated effort of what our guest, Connie, calls an “Awesome” team:
“I want to Thank You and all the other People who work with the Special Touch Get Away Camp and the Staff and CITS and the Nurses and the Kitchen Helpers and everyone else who helps in any way You are all Awesome.” ~Connie
