Impact
We’re at the very beginning — and we’re building it honestly.
Start Here launched in 2026. Rather than borrow numbers, here’s exactly what we’re setting out to do in year one — and how we’ll report on it.
Year one goals
What we’re working toward
-
6
Respite events by year’s end
Monthly events across Palm Beach County — growing to twice a month as we find facility partners.
-
Families finding solace & strength
Parents leaving our events more rested than they arrived — and coming back with friends.
-
Parents who understand their options
More families knowing exactly which resources exist for their child — and how to get them.
Why it matters
Caring for a child with special needs, on top of everything else, can feel unbearable.
Many of the parents we serve have never once left their child in someone else’s care. Knowing there’s a chance to take an intermittent break — even a small one — relieves real stress and helps parents recharge to better care for their children.
That’s the impact we’ll measure ourselves by: rested parents, supported children, and families who know where to turn next.
