Embrace is a very loved and appreciated part of our lives. It offers community and respite, after school care, and a sense of acceptance and belonging that can sometimes be hard to come by. Embrace understands challenges and cares about helping to overcome them. They are always there to help however they can, and for this, we are forever grateful.

Embrace family camp was the best time our family has had together in 11 years. Until now, a family vacation had not been possible. The care, support, and love shown to each of us at camp has instilled a hope our family had since lost.

Comfort. Knowing even though we don’t “need” to utilize all the resources Embrace has to offer – it’s great knowing such a caring program and community of people “from our world” are right here. We happily support Embrace whenever we can – such an important asset to the community and so many families.

We love Embrace and the program they have provided for our son over the past few years. He has fun and the staff has been caring. It has also been such a relief for us, as it is extremely difficult to find after school care for special needs kiddos. Your program has relieved so much stress on our family. Years ago, I received a flyer for Embrace just as we were told that the daycare he was going to after school could not longer ‘support’ him. I cannot explain how thankful we are for Embrace.

We left family camp full of tears, both happy and sad. The bonding there was amazing. My family has been attending church and now I have a tribe of other special needs moms who have cheered me on and cried alongside me since family camp.

Both our kids look forward to respite nights.  My son, who has autism, has build connections with the buddies.  They ‘get’ him.  They love him. And they follow his lead.  For my daughter, it is a night of special attention, too. For my husband and I, it’s an opportunity to connect with each other.  It’s a night we build our schedules around because none of us want to miss a Respite Night!
