As 2025 comes to a close, we at Thrive Memphis are filled with gratitude—for the laughter that echoed through our classrooms, the milestones our participants achieved, and the unwavering support from friends like you.

“Children with special needs are not a burden. They are a gift. They teach us patience, compassion, and the true meaning of love.”

Every day, adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities walk through our doors and into a space where they are not only cared for—but truly celebrated. Whether it’s painting a masterpiece in art therapy, finding rhythm and joy in music sessions, or bonding with furry friends during pet therapy, Thrive is where our participants grow, connect, and shine.

These moments of creativity, expression, and comfort are more than just activities—they’re lifelines. They build confidence, reduce anxiety, and foster meaningful relationships. And they’re only possible because of your support.

Will you make a year-end gift today to help us continue this vital work? Your donation will directly support:

• Art, music, and pet therapy that nurture emotional well-being and self-expression

• Daily programming that builds independence and life skills

• Community outings that foster inclusion and real-world experiences

• Facility improvements that ensure a safe, welcoming environment for all

Every dollar you give helps someone with special needs live a fuller, more connected life. And every act of kindness helps us build a more inclusive Memphis.

Please consider making your tax-deductible donation before December 31st. Together, we can make 2026 a year of even greater possibility.
