The organization has matched more t han 80,000 Miami kids with one-to-one mentors, including youth with disabilities and learning differences, through school-based mentoring, community matches, and a School to Work program with 40+ local businesses. Her message: children don’t need to be fixed; they need to be seen, heard, supported, and someone who consistently shows up.   Subscribe to get Miami-Dade’s best disability resources, local events, and community news delivered to your inbox, FREE newsletter: https://miamidadedisabilitynews.com/   And if you’re a special-needs family weighing a move, selling an inherited home, or planning for the next 30 years, that’s my work as a Real Estate Professional here in Miami-Dade.
