How has your work with One Child affected your personal life and outlook? 

When I founded One Child out of a practical need for my son, I knew that my reality was not uncommon but I could never have imagined how great the need was in the Williamsburg community. Likewise, I’ve been humbled by the generosity of local businesses, individuals, therapists, special education professionals, and volunteers that have supported One Child and helped me transform a vision into an organization.

Ultimately, what this experience has taught me that we are each stronger, that I am stronger, when people in our lives that acknowledge and support our family’s unique journey. That in helping other families and working to create a positive and supportive community, my son and his peers will ultimately benefit. To that end, One Child strives to create a space that not only provides support for our children with Autism but also a place which considers the well-being of the parents and siblings. My hope for One Child is that it will serve as an oasis, a space where our children are celebrated for their unique talents and gifts and families feel a sense of acceptance.
