About Us
This 501(c)(3) foundation was inspired by my five-year-old son, Sirius, who has Autism and combination ADHD. After raising three children who are now adults and becoming a grandparent, I felt called to adoption. Sirius first came into my life as a foster child and was later adopted through the foster care system. He has been a part of our family since he was just one month old.
As a little brother and an uncle, Sirius brings joy, wisdom, and a unique perspective to our family. He inspires and humbles us every day, teaching us to see the world through his beautiful lens. Through this foundation, we strive to promote inclusion and support for children with special needs, ensuring they have access to the resources, services, and opportunities they deserve. Our mission is to help families who may not have the means to provide these essential supports, just as Sirius has inspired us to do.
If you or your family need support with any of the services mentioned in our mission-- whether it is access to activities, transportation, daily necessities, or other special needs resources-- please fill out this form. We are here to help!
