“It has been amazing to feel like I'm not alone and there are other moms who just get it. They get the struggle and the joy of parenting special needs kids! Before I found the group, I had been asking God for more friends who understand and can share in the experiences of parenting autistic kids.”

“From the first time I walked into a gathering to the few I’ve been able to attend - I’ve been welcomed with open arms and it felt like I’ve known you all forever. There is just such a sense of belonging and understanding with all of you! Thank you for being part of my tribe!”

"I met so many wonderful Moms last night and loved sharing stories and resources among the groups. Meeting other Moms who "get it" is just so refreshing. Also, I found a few Moms who are into running races and we may meet up soon to run together. So exciting!"

"I have always felt alone in my journey of motherhood, navigating life, doctors appointments, not feeling included or understood with my struggles until a mom introduced me to this group. Seeing other women who can relate on so many levels is beyond needed. It has also brought to my attention that I may not have a huge village but I AM part of a village!”

“For a while I felt so alone, but knowing there is a community of moms out there who get it has been a real light. I’m looking forward to making new friends who get the “everything has changed” part of my life. It’s helped me to see the bright side, knowing there’s a whole community, who doesn’t even know me yet but will catch me if I fall."

“Watching Kindred grow and meeting new moms each month fills me with so much joy. When I received some of the hardest news of my life, the moms of Kindred showed up for me without hesitation. They have supported me through my sickness in ways I will never forget.”

"I’ve been dragging my feet with attending an event but I'm so happy that I chose to finally go! I had such a good time getting to talk and open up about things! I cant wait to attend more events and get to know more mommas who understand the daily needs of my special needs kiddos!"

"I am so thankful a group like this exists for hard conversations on a deeper level, sharing struggles and triumphs, exchanging resources that we might not know of and just getting out of the house for girl time!”
