How You Can Help Us Go National!
Nominate A Child For A Celebration!
Families and friends are invited to nominate a child for a special celebration!
Please keep in mind that it may take up to 90 days to review celebration requests, so we recommend submitting your nominations at least 120 days ahead of the desired celebration date. Nominations are reviewed monthly by the celebration committee, with selections made for celebrations happening in the following month.
To ensure we can spread the celebration love, families who have been celebrated in the past 24 months are not eligible to request another celebration.

The Need
Why Laila’s Gift? Why Now?
Children with special needs and disabilities, along with their families, face unique and often overwhelming challenges—emotionally, financially, and socially. While families navigate medical complexities, caregiving responsibilities, and societal stigma, Laila’s Gift is here to provide support, celebrate milestones, and foster inclusivity.
Did you know?
- More than 13 million children in the U.S. live with special needs or disabilities.
- 80% of caregivers report feeling emotionally drained and unsupported.
- Siblings of children with disabilities can experience emotional stress and isolation.
These families deserve to feel seen, supported, and celebrated. With your help, we can make that happen.
