Who is Special Needs Respite?

Since 2008, Stacy, through her company YourRespite, has been providing childcare to special needs children in order to give their parents a break from their often 24/7 caretaker roles. Although programs in Georgia exist to help these parents, such as the NOW waiver, there is a very long waiting list and very little money available. As a result, many families don't have funds available for such an essential service, putting a strain on them physically, emotionally, and financially. Due to the lack of funds, many families turned away. This led to the founding of Special Needs Respite in 2017.

Special Needs Respite helps bridge the existing funding gap that many parents have when trying to get childcare for their special needs child. We can provide funds that will pay qualified caregivers to care for these children when no other way is available to the parents.
