How We Advocate for the Community

We have an active campaign to raise awareness on the importance of appreciating the different abilities children with special needs and disabilities have and creating an environment where they do not feel like outcasts, but rather a core part of the community.

This is a podcast hosted by our founder, Shari Bailey, that unboxes topics that are relevant to caregivers and can provide them the support, and resources they need to help them manage their daily activities, as well as shaping their mindset to be most optimal considering the heavy load they carry day-to-day.

The largest misconception is the child dealing with the condition is the only individual who faces challenges. This is far from the truth. The child not only faces daily hardships, but so do the siblings, caregivers, and close family members. We provide the connected family with the tools and resources they need to support each other and means to accept the potential differences their lifestyle may bring, unapologetically.

How We Support the Community

We are the knowledge and support hub for families. They can lean on us for the following:

1. Information on available resources/services in the area,

2. Ways to manage various situations that arise from the family dynamic,

3. Providing emotional support to families and actively listening to their unique obstacles while assuring them they are not alone in this journey

Our partnerships strengthen the core of our services and leverage the wonderful things other organizations are doing to further support our community members.

We noticed that many families are not aware of resources available to support them through local agencies, organizations, and community affiliates. We frequently highlight individuals and groups that offer services that may be beneficial to our community.

How We Celebrate the Community

Each family can bring up to 6 guests and they enjoy this celebration free of charge, all we ask for is endless smiles.

Laila's Gift understands the importance of building a community that is free of judgement, and bias and rather promotes inclusion and diversity. With this vision in mind, we host several community events throughout the year that encourage community participation regardless of an individual's spectrum of ability. Our events are mostly free to the public and are a way to build confidence, collaboration, and awareness within the walls of our community.

Caregiving Awards

Caregiving Awards

Caregivers are unsung heroes of our community. Throughout the year we engage with hundreds of caregivers that go above and beyond the call of parental duty every day to support their loved ones. Laila's Gift annually acknowledges the uncompensated work of caregivers in our community with a Caregiving Award that recognizes selected caregivers for their tenacity, and resilience to be "the glue" for their family. We celebrate their efforts and appreciate their tireless commitment to overcome daily hardships.
