Every Child With Special Needs Is A Precious Gift To The World
By bringing visibility to these remarkable children, we aim to celebrate their uniqueness and foster understanding within the broader community.
Through these five core values and programs, Laila’s Gift® not only honors the unique gifts that children with special needs bring to the world but also works tirelessly to create a community that embraces and uplifts every family on their journey.
Join us, as we are Celebrating One Gift at a Time®.
Inclusiveness
Inclusiveness is at the heart of the Celebrating Milestones program. This initiative aims to ensure that every child with special needs feels cherished and included during their birthdays and special occasions. By delivering a “Celebration in a Box,” filled with personalized gifts and a virtual cheer from the community, Laila’s Gift® creates unforgettable memories that uplift families and highlight the beauty of inclusivity.
Compassion
Compassion drives the Encouraging Caregivers program, where Laila’s Gift® provides vital support to those who care for children with special needs. Through the podcast, Caregiving Unboxed™, caregivers are given a platform to share their experiences, challenges, and triumphs. This compassionate approach allows caregivers to connect with others who understand their journey, helping them navigate their feelings and find solace within a supportive community.
Connection
Connection is fostered in the Supporting Siblings program. This initiative, led by the lovable Zigglebee®, creates a joyful space for siblings of children with special needs to come together. Through interactive art therapy sessions and the exciting Zigglebee pARTy™, siblings share their stories, build connections, and celebrate their unique experiences. This program fosters understanding and resilience, highlighting the unique gifts that each sibling brings to the family dynamic.
Diversity
Diversity is the essence of the Blooming Inclusiveness™ initiative. By hosting sunflower-themed events, Laila’s Gift® promotes dialogue and inclusivity for individuals with diverse abilities while addressing bullying. The sunflower symbolizes growth and resilience, and by inviting community members to plant seeds in honor of children with special needs, Laila’s Gift® fosters a sense of connection and togetherness. The culminating Sunflower Festival showcases the beauty of inclusivity in full bloom, reinforcing the message that every child is a gift worth celebrating.
Family
Family is central to the Navigating Adversity program. Laila’s Gift® recognizes that the journey of raising a child with special needs can be overwhelming, which is why they strive to support families from the moment of diagnosis through every stage of life. By providing essential resources, connections, and emotional support, Laila’s Gift® acts as a compassionate compass, ensuring that families never feel alone in their experiences.
