We all need heroes, those unique individuals that take on incredible challenges we can only aspire to, but in aspiring to, we get inspired maybe just enough to take on some of our own challenges. And even though each of us is unique, when that hero is someone who looks like us, they seem to share similar burdens. Thus they inspire us to become the best version of ourselves to meet the challenges we face. Read more by clicking the link above.

A Note From Parent to Parent...
I think spring has finally sprung and we can enjoy the great outdoors and the sunshine! We have a busy month of baseball, softball and other fun activities this month along with a Mom's Day Out and support meetings. Ysabel and I will be attending the Statewide Parent to Parent Retreat May 15-17. This is a time to meet with other P2P coordinators and share thoughts, ideas and get some training to keep our programs relevant for our families. Check out a game of baseball on a Friday evening through May 19th or a softball game with our adults on Wednesdays beginning May 10th. SOAR is active for those 13 and older and our Kids Playgroup is for 12 and under. I look forward to seeing you this next month and please reach out if you need help with resources, questions or concerns.
Your Parent to Parent Coordinators, Angie Witt and Ysabel Fuentes

ComicBooks For Kids
by Tash Foxe, SOAR Coordinator
We would like to take a moment to share some information about one of our amazing supporters, ComicBooks For Kids. ComicBooks For Kids is a non-profit on a mission to provide child friendly comic books to children in hospitals and cancer centers across the United States. They also provide comic books for men and women in the military. As of September 2022, ComicBooks For Kids has been generously partnering with the WWVDN SOAR program to provide comic books, Funko pops, Lounge Fly Disney backpacks, purses, and wallets, as well as coloring books, reading books and so much more for the participants. To quote Founder and President Mark Weiss, the packages they send are "Our way of not only supporting your initiative, but saying thank you for your kind words and appreciation of your mission."
Mark and his amazing team work hard building, weighing, labeling and shipping each box around the clock. We here at the WWVDN are so grateful for their generosity! If you have a chance, head over to https://www.comicbooksforkids.org/ and take a look at all the wonderful things they do and maybe even follow them on FB. Every once in a while you will catch a post about SOAR on their page too!
