In honor of World Kindness Day this week, Devereux launched an organization-wide campaign – “ : Little Acts. Big Impact.” This initiative highlights the power of simple, meaningful acts of kindness shared among colleagues and the individuals and families we serve.

Throughout the week, we expressed our heartfelt gratitude to our incredible staff and our Friends of Devereux with sincere thank-yous and small tokens of appreciation. We also hosted a special outdoor gathering, sharing treats and moments of connection as we celebrated the dedication and compassion of our team.

The Friends of Devereux joined in the celebration by being on campus for All-Star Friday, where they provided ice cream to the kids—a highlight the youth always look forward to. Their visit gave us a meaningful moment to honor them and express our deep appreciation. The Friends bring kindness, joy, and unwavering support to our campus, and their impact is felt every day.
is contagious – when we sprinkle it, it spreads!

At , we believe kindness has the power to build connections, inspire collaboration, spark new ideas – and create lasting, positive change.

💙 This Holiday Season, Help Youth Like Levi Reach Their Full Potential
As we close out the year, we want to share a story that captures the heart of Devereux Texas — and the incredible difference your compassion makes.

When Levi first arrived at Devereux, his world felt overwhelming. Diagnosed with autism and ADHD, he struggled to communicate and often withdrew from others. His parents feared he might never connect or experience joy.

But with individualized care, specialized therapies, and a team that never stopped believing in him, Levi began to thrive. He learned to use a communication device, made new friends, joined group activities, and took great pride in his role on the Devereux Beautification Team.

Then came a moment his family will never forget — Levi sat with his parents for a full hour during a visit. No pacing. No outbursts. Just connection. Just hope. 💙

Stories like Levi’s are why we do this work. And with your support, more children can discover their strengths and reach their full potential.

✨ Your year-end gift to our My Holiday Wishes campaign provides more than therapy or education — it provides hope.
