Amy Bodkin's ECEF Fundraiser

Emerald Coast Exceptional Families is an organization in my local area whose mission is to connect and support special needs families.  ECEF does a beautiful job of providing inclusive support that respects individuality. They need to raise at least $3000 to compete for grant opportunities up to $100,000.

Being a parent can be a scary job. Kids don't come with instruction manuals. And when a child has a diagnosis, you then have a barage of professionals telling you all the things they think you need to do or you will fail your child. In addition, you also incur thousands of dollars of out of pocket expenses for medical expenses that aren't covered by insurance. 

Sometimes the best advise we get comes from diagnosed adults and other parents....all of which we connect with in the local community ECEF has created. One of the big events ECEF puts on every year is a retreat for moms. At this retreat the goal is to provide community and help us reconnect with ourselves, to prioritize self-care.

Please donate to help us compete in this year's "A Community Thrives" grant competition. Thank you!
