Local support group, set up by parents for parents.
Our goal is to raise awareness about our group by participating in community events. These gatherings not only showcase our support but also allow us to engage directly with the community. Additionally, we use these opportunities to raise funds for our insurance expenses, ensuring our continued presence and effective community service.
