"Almost six years ago my son, Sam, was aging out of the school system. Sam is non-verbal and autistic with moderate cognitive challenges. He had been working as an intern at 3E Love, so I decided to call Stevie Hopkins, the co-Founder and CEO. We had never met, but I explained the circumstances and asked if Sam could continue to volunteer at 3E Love. Stevie told me no, he could not volunteer - my heart sank because I thought this would have been the perfect way to keep him engaged and active in the community. He didn't want Sam to volunteer - BUT HE WANTED TO HIRE HIM. I cried, my husband cried, my daughter cried....

Acceptance: To look beyond the limitations and embrace the strengths and potential." - Kerry
