🌟 Our Story

As a disabled mom, caregiver, and CEO, my life’s work has been shaped by love and advocacy. My son AJ lives with autism and a rare disease, and my grandson was recently diagnosed with autism as well. I know firsthand the challenges and the strength it takes for families like ours to navigate this journey.

That’s why Autism Family Fun Day 2026 means so much to me. As both a resident and business owner here in Newton County, I take great pride in creating a safe, welcoming space where families can connect, access resources, and feel celebrated.

This event isn’t just about fun, it’s about belonging. It’s about giving families the chance to laugh, learn, and lean on each other. It’s about showing our community that inclusion isn’t optional, it’s essential.

Your donation helps make this vision a reality. Together, we can bring meals, activities, and resources to families right here in our community, and show every child and caregiver that they matter.

💙 Thank you for standing with us and making Newton County a place where all families can thrive.
