💔 We are heartbroken to share the news about our beloved founder, Heather Hestand. SHOW Baldwin Inc. - Special Humans Outreach & Wellness simply wouldn’t exist without her- she built it from the ground up with a heart of gold and a vision rooted in love, dignity, and belonging.
Heather has been a fierce advocate for the special needs community from the very beginning. She believed- deep in her soul- that every individual deserves a place to shine, to be celebrated, and to be seen for the incredible gifts they bring into the world. Her compassion transformed lives, opened doors, and created a community where families felt supported, encouraged, and truly understood. The impact she has made will continue to ripple outward for generations.
As she faces this unimaginable chapter, we ask that you keep Heather, her family, John and Hogan, and everyone who loves her in your hearts and prayers. Your support means more than we can express.
