Supporting Parents of Children with Disabilities Matters.
Imagine you had a magic backpack that could be filled to the brim with what you most love.​​​

For Isabella, it would be filled with counting blocks. Her mom, Angie, tells us she can’t get enough of them. Counting blocks come up often — during special education meetings, therapy sessions, even neurology visits — a small but powerful way for Angie to remind everyone who Isabella is beyond the diagnoses, acronyms, and appointments.
​
Every day, parents of children with disabilities show up in extraordinary ways — navigating systems, coordinating therapies, to make sure their child gets access to everything they need and deserve.
​
But as more and more supports and services disappear, this journey becomes even harder. That's where VELA steps in.​​​​​
This holiday season, help us raise $10,000 to give families like Angie's access to the knowledge, skills, and support parents of children with disabilities need.
Every dollar you give now through 12/31 will be doubled thanks to
The Anderson Foundation.
