Nonprofit Overview

Causes: Family Services, Human Services

Mission: Mikey's Place informs, connects, and supports families raising children with disabilities in the Greater Houston, TX area. Our mission is achieved through our 4 programs: we inform families through our proprietary publication, Mikey's Guide; we connect families to helpful organizations and service providers at our Annual Summer Camp & Resource Fair; we support families by offering "Camperships," financial aid assistance for costly specialized summer camps; and we offer vocational training and supportive employment through our new Together at Mikey's Place program. Together offers a solution for young adults who face a lack of opportunities after high school by providing vocational training, socialization, meaningful work, and purpose in a supportive environment.

Mikey's Place is an invaluable resource for so many. Mikey's Guide provides information so vital to families and is a step by step guide to navigating the world of parenting a child with a disability. Because of Ingrid and her dedication, children can go to camp, parents can find resources in the community, and now with the founding of Together at Mikey's Place, young adults can find purpose and meaning in a supportive work enviroment. Thank you Ingrid for your years of dedication to our community.

This is a wonderful organization. They have an excellent resource guide, Mikey's Guide, that you can purchase that gives details on camps and activities for children with special needs. They also host an excellent camp fair every year at a local church. Ingrid Monroy is super helpful, positive, and a great source of information. We participated in a walkathon for Mikey's Place, and it was very well run and organized.
