Thank you so much to everyone that attended, volunteered and supported the event! It was the best turnout yet and we are truly so happy to have been able to do this for our community!

I totally thought I had posted a Thanksgiving message… but alas, I did not. 😅

Even if it’s a little late, our gratitude is very much the same.

We are so grateful for this community, thankful for every supporter, thrilled with the growth we’ve seen, and excited for everything that’s ahead.

Thank you for believing in Andre & Friends, for showing up, and for helping us build a place where everyone belongs. 💛💙❣️

Our Christmas with Friends celebration is just over a week away, and while we’re tying up all the final details, we have one small request:

As you head out for Black Friday shopping this weekend, would you consider taking a peek at our wishlist—or simply shopping from the heart—to help us bring a little extra joy to the 100 incredible individuals (and their families!) joining us this season?

If you prefer to shop from the heart:
We’re celebrating friends ages 2–60, each with their own beautiful abilities, interests, and developmental milestones.

Gift items can be dropped off at Spot Rehabilitation & Home Health Care or Toepfer At Law during regular business hours, Monday–Friday. Or send us a message and we’ll happily arrange a pickup!

🎁 Target Wishlist:

💸If you want to help but want us to shop - we have Venmo!
{as a 501(c)3, donations can be tax deductible as allowed by law)

Holiday celebrations bring people together, and a few simple choices can make your events more welcoming for guests with disabilities. Small steps like asking about access needs, creating clear pathways, or offering a quiet space help everyone participate comfortably. These actions work for gatherings at home, at community events, or when visiting restaurants.
