It Takes a Village

This organization was started by a group of mothers from Key Biscayne who have kids with different special needs.  It’s original purpose was to help other families in the community so that their special children can achieve their full potential. 

This year we are reaching out to our community, as we are trying to purchase some specialty shopping carts to be used in our local super market and pharmacy.  These carts were created with the soul purpose of providing ease of transport when shopping with an older child, teen or adult with special needs or disability. Caroline’s cart would be very useful to many of our families as it will help them with the sometimes impossible task of shopping with their loved ones.

We thank you in advance for your donation!!
