Our organization is dedicated to supporting and celebrating these differences.
We are proud to serve families regardless of their immigration status. We also provide workshops in various therapeutic activities such as painting, ceramics, crafts, dancing, and music. These workshops enable families to explore new creative outlets and enhance their overall well-being.
At Special Mothers in Action, we are here to help. We are a collective of “Special Mothers” dedicated to informing and assisting all “Special Families” who may be unaware of the assistance and services available to them in this country. We offer support by donating essential items and providing therapy assistance for needy families.
Collaboration and sponsorship play a crucial role in our ability to assist families during emergencies. Whether it’s a lack of electricity, housing, or mobility, we strive to respond promptly and effectively, particularly when multiple special children are involved.
After an accident that had me prostrate (WHERE) for 6 long months, I decided to change my little girl’s and my life during a reflection. It all began by expressing my idea on a napkin while discussing with my husband, Carlos; with his help and colleagues’ cooperation, this great dream is now a reality. We started as 4 mothers fighting and advocating for our children, and thanks to the Lord’s blessing, we are now over 400 families.
For numerous months, the work was strenuous. We were assisting families little by little, knocking on doors, donating, and learning a different case every day … without an office; we were helping these families from the trunk of our cars. The only resources we had were our personal experiences, the desire for helping and advocating, and each other.
We are here to help.
Since our establishment in 2014, our non-profit organization has been committed to helping families with children and adults with special needs disabilities. We strive to provide them with appropriate home care, therapy services, and necessary medical equipment. Additionally, we focus on addressing their physical, social, and developmental needs.
We believe that every family deserves a better quality of life, and we cannot achieve this without the support of our community. Our ultimate goal is to be there for special families right from the moment a child is born. Drawing from our own life experiences, we aim to offer guidance and support during these significant moments.
We have a great dream, and it is to serve special families from the moment a child is born. We believe that we can help and support families based on our excellent life experience by being part of these special moments. We come to you for this mission to be able to offer guidance from that first moment.
We serve families with or without immigration status. We also offer workshops in painting, ceramics, crafts, dancing, and music therapies.
