Fantastic outreach and support ministry. Was touched by their kindness when we suffered a tragic accident and amazed at the resources, care, and . . .yes . . . laughter in the face of what at the time seemed impossible.

I am simply a mother who was profoundly touched by this ministry when my son was involved in an accident. They visited in the hospital, brought goodies, laughter, and a feeling that I was NOT alone and that we were not incapacitated by disability.

What a great organization. I can never keep up with the wealth of information being posted every day in so many areas of disabilities. I love the Christian aspect of the organization as well. Thank you Snappin Ministries for your emotional, practical, and spiritual support!

I would try and find more volunteers to help Barb to ease her workload.
Snappin Ministries helped our family in a time of need. The support we received was timely, encouraging and very much appreciated. They serve a population that is in need but often goes unnoticed. The personal connection they offer is comforting and ongoing.

Our son has Spina Bifida and Hydrocephalus, and had a shunt malfunction this year that caused him to have to have surgery in June. At first we'd suspected Tethered Cord Syndrome, and I was talking about the surgery for that on Twitter, when Barb asked if I would like a care package for his hospital stay. Just knowing that she cared helped me through it, and my spirit was lifted when the package got to us.

Snappin' Ministries is a wonderful organization that is always striving to help meet the needs and lift the spirits of struggling special needs families, whether that is through formal acts of the non-for-profit, or through all the personal kindnesses on the side that Barb Dittrich, who runs things, can fit into her own life, on behalf of others. Never satisfied with what she, or the organization is already doing, there is a commendable aspiration to find new, better and more ways to reach out to anyone who needs an understanding and supportive hand. What makes Snappin' Ministries stand out even more to me is not just what they do, but how they do it. They are a faith-inspired organization, but they share their faith without ever imposing it. They do not ask what you believe, or pressure you to believe what they do. They simply act to their best conscience, and hope their example, directly or indirectly, benefits you. There is no judgment before or after rendering of services. Accepting charity can be touchy enough for most people who need it, without bringing in religious guilt, so that this organization gives religiously -- literally -- without forcing anyone to accept strings that might be hard for them to swallow is something that really sets them apart.

...well, in that I have had the honor of knowing Barb and working with her in the support of other special needs parents and families through social networking on Twitter and on Facebook, and in that I have received a care package -- containing things chosen specifically for each member of my family -- from them, at a time when we really needed that kind of gesture.

If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
Expand their funding, so that they are able to do more of the kinds of things they would like to, and more easily create new subdivisions of their outreach to meet related needs as they become involved in recognizing them.
Wonderful organization, helps not only local people but others in need throughout the US with suggestions, advice, and kind words. Even assists other area groups looking to set up a similar ministry. A wonderful knowledge base and a true asset to the special needs community!

I'm a mother with a special needs daughter with JIA. Snappin' Ministries has been wonderful with their support and inspirational stories. They were especially kind when I was dealing with all the hospitals and doctors when my daughter was hospitalized. They truly provide a Christian environment of caring, good will, and compassion.

I was really frustrated this past spring when my daughter finally got diagnosed with PDD-NOS. Feeling lost and alone, Snappin Ministries helped me to feel like people really do care, and offered me support and networking to help me through a tough time.

I am a mom who has been graced by the services and support of Sanppin' Ministries. They have always been there for me and my family. They have helped us in times of need. Touched my heart when I did not know where else to turn! The 'Mom's Day Out...Spa Days' are the best!
