We are so grateful for all of you. Thank you for the ways you support us and are part of us. We are thankful for our funders who make all of this possible. We are thankful for every person and group who partners with us. It brings us great joy to do this work with you.

Most of all, we are thankful for every family who is part of us. Whether you are someone who has called us once or someone who does lots of activities with us, we treasure you. We know you share two of your most precious belongings whenever you reach out: your family's story and your child. We do not take that lightly. We welcome every family without judgment or blame and accept and respect all your children. We are glad to be on this journey with you.

As our minds and hearts turn to thankfulness this week, we wish you and your families a happy Thanksgiving. We know that sometimes holidays can be tough when children have challenges. If you have those hard moments, please know that you are not alone and others understand. We are in this together.

Please join us for our virtual quarterly Families as Allies Live on Wednesday, November 30, at noon. If you want to include Families as Allies in your #Giving Tuesday plans, you can donate on Facebook or our website.

I truly am thankful for every one of you.

With a warm and grateful heart,
