Thanks for the sticky hands, anonymous donor! The kids will LOVE these, especially those who can't or shouldn't have candy!

If you'd like to help make our trunk at the Goss Library Trunk or Treat on October 29 a success, please take a look at our Amazon wishlist:

In TWO WEEKS, we'll have a disco-themed trunk at the Mont Belvieu library's Trunk or Treat event, and we need CANDY! We're reusing the disco decor y'all already generously donated so we're set there, but those kids are going to want candy and toys so we're coming to you again.

If you'd like to help, please check out our Amazon wishlist:

I wanted to share something I learned while visiting the HMNS-Sugar Land recently, THEY HAVE AN ADULT CHANGING TABLE!! That's HUGE!!!! I love the Sensory room too! I just had to share. Now if we could get the rest of all public spaces on board, that'd be GREAT!!

WE NEED YOUR INPUT: WOULD YOU PREFER AN INFORMATIVE MEETING TEACHING YOU ABOUT MEDICAID WAIVER PROGRAMS, THEIR BENEFITS AND WHY YOU NEED THEM VIA ZOOM OR IN PERSON? And in my experience, for these informative meetings, it's best to find - and I KNOW it's difficult, childcare for your kiddos. Because they can be distracting and this information is important for your family.

💙 ABLE Account or Special Needs Trust — what’s the difference?

Both can be important tools for helping protect the financial future of a person with a disability, but they work in different ways.

Our latest fact sheet breaks down:
✅ Who can have each one
✅ Contribution limits
✅ How they may affect benefits
✅ What the money can be used for
✅ Why some families may choose to use both

Take a look and save this information for future planning!
