As a single mother, balancing the challenges of making ends meet while caring for my son has not always been easy. There have been many moments when I worried about how I would provide the specialized support and opportunities he needs to thrive. That is why the generosity of the Mar5 Foundation and A Voice for Mikey Foundation has meant more to my family than words can truly express.
After reaching out in August of last year, I was overwhelmed with gratitude when they contacted me in April to let me know they would be funding my son’s needs. Their support has given me not only practical help, but also hope, relief, and empowerment during a time when our family needed it most.
They purchased all of the sensory equipment and supplies I requested for my son, and they have also funded adaptive swimming classes and soccer classes for him beginning in May and June. My son loves everything he received, and these opportunities will have a lasting impact on his growth, confidence, and development.
What these foundations do is life-changing for families like mine. Their compassion and generosity provide more than financial assistance—they give parents hope and children opportunities they may not otherwise have. I am deeply thankful, honored, and blessed that my son was chosen for this support.
May God continue to bless their work and expand their reach so they can continue helping more families in need, just as they have helped mine.
