Family To Family Network

Our son, and family as a whole, would not be where we are today had it not been for Family to Family Network. F2F validated our vision that our son would have a life filled with the same opportunites and choices that everyone else has, and then gave us the information, tools and resources we needed to be effective advocates on his behalf. The connections we've made with other families of children with disabilities through F2F have been a tremendous source of support and inspiration, and have turned into life-long friendships. Our family will forever be greatful to Family to Family Network for all that they've done for our family, so many other families, and our community at large!
The Great!
I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
the lives of so many families and their children with disabilities. Families come in to F2F feeling alone and beaten down, but then leave feeling supported, empowered with information, and ready to make great strides for their children.

What I've enjoyed the most about my experience with this nonprofit is...
the support, friendship, wisdom and inspiration from other families of children with disabilities. It's been wonderful to be a part of, and to be able to give back to, this awesome community who share so many experiences.
The kinds of staff and volunteers that I met were...
dedicated, passionate and compassionate people -- most of whom are also parents of children with disabilities. They understand the challenges that families face, and are committed to providing the tools families need to be successful.
If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could...
expand to further meet the tremendous needs of families across this very large and diverse state.
Ways to make it better...
F2F had the funding and manpower to expand and reach more families.
In my opinion, the biggest challenges facing this organization are...
the economy and the funding challenges that all non-profits face.
One thing I'd also say is that...
Thank You!

I just wanted to take a minute to let people know what a valuable help and resource Family to Family has been to my family. I have a Autistic son who is now 17 years of age and we are facing the transition years where we are trying to prepare for life after high school. As many parents I talk with we have been through Ard meetings and EIP's since our son first entered school.I felt that with my prior ARD experience and having gone to many seminars, that I had a pretty good knowlegde and grasp on the process and had done well getting services and being an advocate for my child. Because I did not have a great deal of experience with "transition issues" I asked the folks at Family to Family to look over last years IEP and make any suggestions they felt were appropriate or helpful. I was truly amazed at how many mistakes they found with my sons prior IEP and how many suggestions they gave me. I was able to go into this years ARD meeting with a 4 type written pages of suggestions and proposed changes that were so helpful in positioning my son for a better future. I am by no means an expert in dealing with IEP's or special education law, so it is so important to have resources available to us to help us protect our children and give them the best opportuities they can have. The folks at Family to Family were happy to devote their time and expertise to help my son. I will continue to use this valuable resource in the future and would recommend that anyone reading this should as well. Thanks, Mike

My involvement with Family to Family Network started as a volunteer with their Family Friends Volunteer Program. I was matched with a littel girl who has disabilities and her family. I go into the home to spend time with her doing fun things and in doing so give the family much needed support. I was asked to work for them parttime, to help expand the program and I have enjoyed it all thoroughly. The work they do help other families who have a child or more than one child with disabilities is outstanding. I hope to help them to continue to grow as they provide much needed help in many way.
