Snappin Ministries is encouraging and offers hope to the tired special needs parent! We all need a virutal hug or a pat on the back sometimes, combined with practical ideas, helpful suggestions, and God's love.
Snappin Ministries is an awesome nonprofit bringing care, education, and advocacy for parents and caregivers of children with chronic illness, or special needs. Snappin is an encouraging lift up for families!

I am blessed to have started volunteering with Snappin Ministries several years ago. Snappin is a well organized ministry with a well needed focus on the needs of parents raising kids with special needs. The ministries advocacy efforts and information sharing have helped to raise awareness on many issues. I am always amazed at the strength of these parents and am blessed with the opportunity to watch them be uplifted by the events and resources provided by Snappin Ministries.
I met Barb at Snappin Ministries Inc. at a very rough time in my life. I attended a retreat that made me laugh as I have not done in a long time! I walked away feeling blessed and hopeful. Thank you Barb for showing me there is compassion in this world.
I have learned of many individuals and families that have needed the power of prayer. I volunteer to do this on my own personal time. I have prayed for love, healing, comfort, strength and anything else I felt appropriate for the situations. I pray this group grows and helps more people every day.
They give great support and inspiration to parents of children with sorvysl needs.

I just completed Snappin Ministries parent mentor training program. It was an incredible experience to learn along side other parents who desire to reach out into their community and help others. What a valuable resource this ministry is! They do so much to serve, comfort and prepare others. I am blessed to be a part of that.
I just completed the mentor training and learned some invaluable information as for helping others, as well as things that can currently help me for where I am right now. I hope that I can share what I learn with others and continue to spread the Gospel. Plus it was fun to do the class. Thank you for all you do!!
Snappin just makes everyone feel ok with whatever they are going through. It could be as little as a hangnail, or as big as a 24hour surgery, you'll know SnappinMinistries will be right there with you be it in person or in prayer. They are so caring and provide wonderful retreats for all mothers! They have special events for kids as well! What an awesome ministry!
SNAPPIN' Ministries has been a huge blessing in my life as a special needs mother. I originally discovered the ministry through their blog. I had just left my full-time job to become my daughter's full-time caregiver. She is medically fragile and medically complex. During a very trying year with 8 hospital stays in 7 months, Snappin' Ministries sent a care package to me. This care package allowed me and my family some time to regain normalcy when we returned home after our last hospital stay. I felt so loved and so cared for. The package also included some practical things to ease the burden of care while trying to unpack our hospital bags at home. I have been in touch with the ministry for the last 2 years long-distance since I live in Florida and the ministry is based in Wisconsin. I have also been blessed to tell other parents across the country about the ministry. Having Snappin' Ministries available contributes to my spiritual and emotional well-being. I thank God for them.
Barb is an encouragement to me, and her giving spirit is the heart of this amazing ministry. Can't help but love her and the way she helps families with special needs.
A beautifully supportive tribe of people offering care and encoiragement in the daily moments, where it really matters.
I was blessed to be able to attend the Special Needs Mom's Retreat this year. I enjoyed being pampered! The food was very tasty and there was water,tea or coffee available. Friday night Karaoke was a blast! The workshops were enjoyable and interesting. I made some new friends and was able to catch up with some old ones. I will definitely put this event on my calendar for next year!
This ministry comes along side the parents in the trenches if you will. By providing encouragement and support to parents they share God's love for the least of these. Snappin Ministries has been a special gift of encouragement to our family. TK
I was honored to serve as a musician at this year's Snappin' Ministries Retreat and was thoroughly blessed. What a good work this ministry is doing....blessing many families throughout the year and treating Moms to a very special spa retreat. I hope I am able to serve again. Thank you to Barb and the many other volunteers.
I've been blessed to be in a volunteer position for Snappin' Ministries in the past, and this ministry does so much for the special needs community. They go above and beyond to help other families.
Snappin' Ministries steps into the gap in our communities by supporting families on their journey with a child with special needs. And they reach beyond the local community to offer video-conferencing to train support group leaders. It's a ministry whose impact is amplified by all who are touched by it!
This ministry is a blessing to the community. Refresh Retreat was well organized and full of details designed to bring joy to the attendees.
I was blessed to serve at the recent refresh retreat. It was well organized and everything went smoothly. The moms were very appreciative of the volunteers and the services that were offered. I would do it again.
Outstanding organization! I was so impressed with their mom's retreat this weekend! There were so many selfless volunteers who helped make all of us special needs mom's feel spiritually nourished as well as pampered!
Snappin Ministry has touched me and my family so many ways this past year.
Ministered by giving the family some gift cards when our son was hospitalized.
I just attended a women's retreat that refreshed me spiritually and emotionally!
Thanks so much!!!
This is a wonderful ministry that wonderfully serves a much under-served population...parents of special needs kids. I have had opportunity to provide respite to parents with special needs children and it is such a blessing to find a ministry like Snappin' that serves and supports parents who are often overwhelmed with the demands and challenges of raising specially "blessed" kids. I am so impressed with the efforts of the founder to reach as many parents and families as possible. I hope they continue to grow to reach and minister to more and more families.
Snappin' Ministries is an amazing organization dedicated to serving the servants. I have been both recipient and volunteer and have been blessed abundantly in both capacities.
I have been involved with Snappin Ministries for several years now. My first experience was at a member event in which we went bowling. Not only did my family have fun bowling amongst others but we received companionship with other families in our same situation. I have also been blessed to attend the mothers day retreat, on the planning committee and have my daughter attend a respite event. This last year I was involved in the Facebook book club and face to face book club which the topics, and discussion I felt blessed to have others to share my opinions and feel supported at the same time. This organization really is helping the community rooted in the Christian faith with the needs that families like ours so desire. I now serve on the board and plan to help with the Mother's day event this next year. This is a special organization for many families including ours. They are serving in ways that no one else does! Love Snappin!
Thank you for the wonderful encouragement! I am a parent of 3 children with special needs and participated in a small-group book study. It was such a positive and helpful experience, not like many of the other groups I have tried where I left feeling worse than when I arrived. I really appreciate how the study helped me gain some perspective on my family's situation and caused me to reevaluate some of my reactions and biases. I have felt so understood and supported by the group!
Got to hear Barb at By the Brook, very much enjoyed her. I have a 10 year old Elisha, a great kid, takes 4 to 6 shots each day and 5 meds , all so uses a cpap. at night and is dislexic , he us a wonderful kid and a fighter. I thank God for ministries like this, God only knows how important they are we need each other. God bless. Elisha and Selina, :-) :-) :-) :-)
I love what this ministry does for so many families who have children with special needs. Supported by prayers, events, blogs, gifts of support of those in need and so much more in so many ways.
I fully support Snappin' Ministries in their mission to help families of special needs children. The care, love and respect given to these families is unsurpassed. I have volunteered and look forward to helping more in the coming years. I believe in the work they do and the importance it has to our communities.
I am both a volunteer and client served, and I consider Snappin' Ministries one of the top ministries serving families of children with disabilities. They have provided support and encouragement both online, through phone calls and emails, and physically with one of their famous care baskets. Snappin' Ministries is always there when we need them, whether it's prayer support or just a listening ear we need. I don't remember what it's like not to have them at my back, and I don't want to go there again!
Snappin' Ministries gave us a care basket and I STILL use stuff that we got in it a year later. Their ministry is phenomenal and true evidence that God does NOT leave us alone while we are here on earth...he surrounds us with love and support.
I attended the mom's conference, while I was asked to come as the speaker, after I addressed the mom's, I enjoyed an amazing afternoon being pampered, enjoying good food, and having great conversations. I walked away feeling refreshed and thankful to have attended the reatreat, and especially thankful for the leader, Barb Dittrich, who is passionate about helping parents know they are not alone, and they are loved.
We LOVE SNAPPIN Ministries!! I learned about their organization about 4 years ago and they have become an invaluable resource for me and my family. I only wish I had learned about them a few years sooner when I actually lived in WI. But thankfully, they are there to help families nationwide. I have received some great resource books from them on special needs and special needs ministry that have been amazing!
SNAPPIN is an incredible resource for families affected by disability. The best part is that the people of SNAPPIN, particularly their leader / founder Barb - are living in the trenches every day - raising a child with a disability. They embody compassion, empathy, and encouragement.
I have had a great experience with Snappin' Ministries in multiple ways and opportunities. The one I am going to emphasize in this review is the pleasure I had working with them in one aspect of their summer picnic. They invited me in to help them bring their picnic from an indoor concept to an outdoor concept and include adaptive water skiing. They joined USA Water Ski to do this thoroughly and take command of the whole dynamic of doing this. With the success they had in providing water skiing on sit skis and a few cases of stand-up skiing, there is already talk of considering this for next year.
Another proverbial feather in their cap is they do everything they do, and now they have proven that they can also deliver adaptive water skiing to add yet other way that families that have a member with a disability can benefit.
Serving with Snappin' has been one of my most joy-filled volunteer experiences. From day one, I have been authentically encouraged and inspired by the work they do, which has spilled over into my family, my friendships, and my community. I am so thankful to contribute to this mission!
We have a son with a chromosome deletion with this he has autistic tendencies so for 10 years we were living in Camerons world...never getting a break. When we moved to Wisconsin we heard of Snappin Ministries through our local church and we were pleasantly surprised at what they offered. Not only did we want to receive services....We wanted to find out how we could help serve. They provided proper training so we knew the expectation and learned how to provide an exciting time for the kiddos while the parents get a breather. Working with the other volunteers and with the kiddos has been very rewarding. We can truly understand the value of 5 minutes of normal to a family that has a child requiring special needs. I highly recommend this program to any family looking for an outlet.
My first encounter with Snappin' Ministries was when I signed up to be a vendor for one of their fundraisers. By the time event actually happened, I found out that our own little baby-to-be would be one of the special ones. Fast forward to a couple of weeks after Tobias' birth and we were already stationed at Children's Hospital so that he could be treated for a respiratory illness. Snappin' Ministries sent a care package to our home that provided not only gift cards to various businesses, but also some toiletries and other items. Tangible and practical love was given through that package, and with no family living near us, we truly felt like the care package was a hug from above!
As a parent of 3 special needs children, I sometimes feel so alone in the world. Snappin Ministries has helped our family through a few crisis situations and most importantly, day to day troubles. They have provided us with friendship and spiritual leadership. The family events they hold are wonderful. Our children are able to be around other families with special needs. It is so nice to be able to talk with other parents and share our challenges and celebrations. It is one of the few times we can relax and let our children be children without being judged by others.
Snappin' Ministries has blessed us far beyond words. They have reached over many states to help us carry our burdens. Facing major medical issues, while trying to care for 4 children, each with their own special needs (medical and learning), has been overwhelming. Snappin' provided gift baskets to help lift our spirits with some sweet little goodies, but they also eased the financial burden with gift cards to ease our basic daily expenses. Thank you to everyone involved at Snappin' Ministries!
My husband and I have volunteered with Snappin Ministries several times this last year, the events are very well organized to give the parent of a child with special needs time to not worry about the care of their child. They can be assured they are in good care with the volunteers. As a mother of a 15 year old daughter I know the anxieties being able to have a night out and would have loved to have that as my daughter was growing up. Now she joins us volunteering at times and loves doing that.
I truly enjoy this program and will continue to volunteer when I am able and in any other ways I can support Snappin Ministires.
Sincerely Tammy Ligman
Snappin' Ministries ministers to parents of kids with special needs. This non-profit has a huge heart and a reach far greater than than their budget indicates. Volunteers give of time and talents to provide quarterly respite and family fun events in Wisconsin. They also send gift baskets to families around the country, provide awareness of special needs resources via social media and encouragement via their top notch blog. They also train parents of kids with special needs to mentor other parents with special needs to reduce isolation and build connections for families. Snappin' truly is a great non-profit.

I've worked with Barb for the past two years as we developed and wrote the Parent to Parent Mentoring Curriculum. I was asked to join the board a year and a half ago. In both capacities, Barb has been a woman of vision with a deep desire to meet the practical and spiritual needs of parents of kids with special needs. Her efforts on their behalf are tireless, even as she cares for her own children, two of whom have special needs. Barb has created an organization that meets parents where they are at and connects them to resources and groups able to ease their burden and give them hope. Being part of Snappin' as a board member is an exciting and fulfilling endeavor.
I must admit that the first time my husband and I volunteered at a Snappin' Ministries event, we did so because it was a group near and dear to my cousin's heart. However, by the end of that very first event, I too felt a connection; not only with the kids, but with the leaders as well as the other volunteers. The dedication to and support of the entire family unit is unparalleled. I feel honored to be able to give of my time to this amazing organization lead by some of the most compassionate people I have ever met.
Snappin' Ministries offers parents a lifeline through family and personal support, events and respite care. I am a proud member of the volunteer team and love the work!
I first met the folks from Snappin at the Accessibility Summit in VA in April. As a leader trying to kick start churches in my area to recognize and act on this issue, I have come to cherish the leader articles on their website/Face book. They have a unique combination of personal sharing that I can relate to, but also provide exceptional practical tools for all who work in this ministry area. As I do not have a child with special need myself, I value the insight this group provides, so that I may better serve those around me.
The dedication of everyone involved is just phenomenal. And the passion displayed by their staff and volunteers is without equal. Love flows freely to everyone they come into contact with.
Snappin' Ministry has been a great and valuable resource to my family and I several times in the couple of years we've known about it. Here are two instances that I hold on to dearly: In 2011 I received a care basket full of items like gift cards, lotion, a candle and inspirational/encouraging literature. It came at a great time when my family and I were experiencing a great waiting period about our living situation. It really was exactly what we needed in our special needs journey to help us remember God was in control and was taking care of us at the time like He always has and always will. Recently in 2013 I received another care basket from Snappin' Ministry after I posted a facebook status update expressing my frustration with the special needs journey my husband and I are on with our daughter, Aria. I really didn't want to be up before dawn preparing life sustaining medication for Aria and I was overwhelmed and frustrated about doing again for over 9 years straight. Barb Dittrich read my plea and responded with kind and encouraging words in a private facebook message and again a few days later with a care basket full of familiar goodies. It's so wonderful to know that there are people in a ministry hundreds of miles away from us that are there to pray for us and encourage us on this journey that is also familiar to them. We are so grateful for Barb and all those that help to make Snappin' Ministry possible. Families like mine can always make it another day because of them.
Barb Dittrich and her team at SNAPPIN Ministries do a remarkable job of providing tangible support to families of kids with disabilities. They have developed a replicable model of training parent mentors to help families in need effectively navigate the healthcare, social service and educational systems. They're great stewards of the funding they receive...I personally support their work financially, despite living 400+ miles from their base of operation in Wisconsin.
Love what Snappin has done for me and my well being. Can't wait to see what else they are up too next!
I became involved with SNAPPIN’ MINISTRIES last year. I am very proud to be a part of such a great organization. This non-profit organization made up of volunteers helps parents of children with special needs. It is a faith-based program that helps mentor and support people. In the center of it all is an amazing woman named Barb. This organization is one-of-a-kind in the nation!
I learned about Snappin' Ministries while working for a program for children with special needs. I was blown away by the dedication and enthusiasm this group offers to families. There are many fun activities and outings to provide as resources and support not only for the kids, but the whole family. It touched my heart and wouldn't let go, I had not choice but to jump in and serve!
I literally fell upon SNAPPIN' Ministries in my quest to help my daughter newly dx with autism. Our lives have been so richly blessed with the God connections since I was lead to them. I have a wonderful mentor and friend who has selflessly guided me along this journey and carefully brought me little nuggets of her experience and guidance that she learned along the way....priceless!
Our family feels so loved by this organization that says you are important and you matter and "we get it." Although each special needs parent has a unique journey, there are just longings and heart cries that resonant the same desires and needs for all our children. Thanks Barb for your tireless and transparent efforts to meet me on the same page at times speaking what my heart feels through your blog....it gives me such encouragement and strengthens my character for Him. I am so grateful!
I have worked with Barb of Snappin' Ministries for almost two years. Barb has helped me to grow in special needs ministry leadership skills which will allow me to better assist the families in my region of the country. I am also part of the Snappin' Ministries mentor development program which trains mentors to support special needs parents. This type of ministry is quite unique. The needs of families who have children with special needs often have needs which go unmet. Barb works tirelessly to reach, teach and encourage others in ministry even as she deals with the special needs of her own children.
With innovations in social media, Snappin' Ministries has reached others nation-wide. It has the potential to have world-wide impact as a unique ministry to parents by parents who share in the journey as parents of children with special needs. As a parent of two children with special needs, I know how difficult the journey can be and just how important this ministry to families such as mine. Snappin' Ministries is working diligently to fill a void too long unnoticed serving the "least of these."
SNAPPIN' is the little non-profit that could! Through some of the most dedicated volunteers out there, parents of children with special needs are served in unique ways. Most recently, the organization launched a faith-based parent mentor program that is one-of-a-kind in the nation. Parents can meet with their mentor right from their own home, no matter where they are in the country. A new smart phone app is also being launched to assist parents whether they're at home, in a doctor's office or at a hospital. People with skills ranging from having a love for children, to graphic artists, to licensed professionals make this all happen. What an organization!

Time and time again I have seen the volunteers of this organization offer powerful compassion with small gestures of kindness to parents of kids with special needs. It warms my heart to see this highly neglected population given hope and encouragement with simple things like a gift basket, a kind word at a time of stress or aid at a time of crisis!
I have seen the ministry work of SNAPPIN first hand as well as had the privilege to help out at events. I am always amazed at the love poured into these families who have such great need! Truly demonstrating the hands and feet of Jesus is how I would describe SNAPPIN ministries!
Barb and Steve have a huge heart for parents that have children with disabilities. There love for Jesus shines in everything that they do.
What a fantastic organization Sanppin Ministries is! My experience with them has been all positive. A family with whom I was working came upon hard times. Barb and Snappin Ministries stepped up to the plate and helped them out with funds toward their son's treatment. Barb is amazing!

We work with families who have children who are differetly abled. A single mom brought her son to work with me last summer; she was experiencing great financial stress at the time, as well as personal strain. We had offered her some financial assistance and she was still struggling to pay for the services. I contacted SNAPPIN MINISTRIES, and asked if they could help. Barb Dittrich jumped right in with a short, simple financial aid application, which the mom completed, and in a very short time, the family had received some financial assistance from SNAPPIN MINISTRIES, and the child could continue his therapy with us.
This is a wonderful organization and I had so much fun volunteering that I am staying on! Everyone was so friendly and welcoming to new people. I've worked with other non- profits before but this one is different. Everything about it deserves an A+ I can't wait to see where God is taking this organization!!!!
I stand in awe of Barb and Snappin' Ministries. Every day, she inspires countless parents of kids with special needs, myself included. Snappin Ministries is one of the major forces in the world of special needs social media (not to mention in real life)!
Sannpin' Ministries Rocks I am an Altar Server for St,Anthony The Great Othodox church in Melbourne,Florida they helped my wife & I when we needed it.
Snappin Ministries helped me tremendously when I had a recent unexpected expense. They are awesome to work with and very inspiring.
This organization provides wonderful resources and support for parents like myself. I am constantly impressed by their activity and the information they share through various social media outlets. I am learning more and more impressive things about them everyday. I have spoken with Barb on several occasions and find her to be both professional and extremely familial. I am looking forward to volunteering my time with this organization!
Not only am I blessed enough to have been the recipient of a much needed Mommy Basket...I have spent months getting to know this ministry and their heart. This is so needed and so important. As a mom, a caregiver and a registered nurse, a ministry such as this is a blessing to so many in such a specific way. keep it up! We love you!
SNAPPIN' Ministries is so much more than a charity. It's a ray of sunshine on a dark, stormy day. It's a glimpse of hope when a family is in despair. It's a kiss from heaven during someone's hell on earth. As a mother of two kids with special needs, a donor to this worthy nonprofit, a friend to another mom who received a basket, and a grateful recipient of a Mother's Day spa treatment. I heartily endorse this work.
I have worked with this group from day one. I keep working with them because when I see the people Snappin serves, it gives me the perspective I need to know that my situation pales in comparison to the needs of others. Snappin has showed me the fact that it is a blessing to give. I have seen the look of gratitude when a family recieves a gift basket, a meal dropped off, or just the acknowledgement that someone actually cares. When raising a special need child, Snappin sees that it is not just the child that needs special care, the parents are also in need of some support. This ministry lets me know that someone else understands how difficult is is to be the parent of one of these prscious children.
I have seen Snappin' Ministies grow from a grass roots effort to an organization that soley seeks to help the families of special needs children. Having been a special needs family, we know the challenges that abound and there is not one of those challenges that cannot be met with advice, love, and solutions provided by Snappin'. 5 star in my book.
Snappin' Ministries is a fabulous outreach network with Barb Dittrich at the helm! We were recipients in the not too distant past, and while I won't go into great detail, I will say that both my husband & son have disabilities (different from each other) and that Barb has been there with a big ear to listen and common sens to help me prevail!
I have seen this ministry in action. They are very proactive in counseling, education, and offering spiritual, emotional and physical support. The director, Barb, has a heart of gold and her intentions are sincere in seeing that families with loved ones with disabilities are connected with all the resources that they need to continue serving their loved ones with more love, knowledge, and strength then they have ever had before.
I am a pastor who has led Bible studies for parents of children with special needs on various occasions. Snappin Ministries INC has demonstrated creative ways of encouraging and partnering with families to help them along in their difficult, and often confusing journey. Barb and her team consistently help families properly order their priorities and discover inspiration to persevere. I therefore highly recommend this nonprofit to anyone looking for assistance in the area of special needs. Bryan Roe Pastor of Student Ministries Crosspoint Community Church Oconomowoc, WI
Again and again I have seen this nonprofit reach out to parents that are struggling and offer help and hope. They offer aid to families suffering through all sorts of disabilities, physical and emotional. They "get" all the areas where parenting a special needs child is hard -- the financial issues, the loneliness, the fear, and the isolation. They have programs for respite, and programs for helping families in crisis obtain needed medical services when finances would otherwise cancel them. This isn't an institution -- it's a group of caring individuals that have come together to offer what they can, and what they can is an awful lot.
I have autism and other physical disabilities. My children also have autism. Snappin' Ministries has helped me tremendously--from the care package to the monthly e-newsletter. It certainly makes my day a lot brighter!
I was blessed to become the foster mom for a beautiful 12 year old child. Snappin ministries sent me a care package. One night when the medical crisis my son survived ended, I opened up my present. It included personal items, toys for my new son and a book. It may have only been a care package... but for me that night it was a friend. My heart thanks you.
Snappin Ministries is a great organization offering families resouces, trainings, and just networking. Families with special needs kids can feel isolated at times because of the challenges associated with raising a special needs kid. It is nice to know there is an organization just specifically for us parents. They are amazing and deserve 5 stars!!!
Snappin ministries is an outstanding organization that continues to be a resource for our blended family in dealing with the every day issues that having 5 special needs children brings!
I am always impressed by the love for and desire to help families with special needs that I see in Barb and the volunteers of Snappin'. It is incredible how much helpful information is distributed. The practical help for families in difficult situations is great. I appreciate both the Christian perspective and the practicality!
You cannot believe what this ministry offers. The support that I have received and the love from Barb is unsurmountable. God knows when we need someone in our life just at the right moment. She offers many acts of kindness and pampering opportunites that people just don't realize how important this is. I have been worn out, beat up and on my last leg when this ministry has loved and comforted me. Thank you Barb and those behind the scenes who devote their time and talent to be kind!
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.
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!
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.
I have watched this ministry move from a dream to a reality. A ministry meeting needs of parents and children with a heart of compassion.
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.
This is a truly wonderful organization that works so hard to help children with special needs. They are always there to help!
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.
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!
A fantastic organization with a mission to help others, especially the most vulnerable. Barb is a fantastic advocate and supporter of families with children with special needs.
An organization is only as good as the people behind it. Barb is an incredibly dedicated and heart driven woman and mom. She brings excitment, hope, and information to Snappin Ministries.
Barb has a heart of gold. Her caring nature and love for people of all abilities is shown every day in her work. Barb uses Twitter, Facebook and other technologies to push the work she does out on the national and international stage. Five stars isn't nearly enough.
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 am a mom with a special needs little boy with cerebral palsy. Snappin' ministries is inspiring and helps other moms like me to link up with each other. The support from this ministry is wonderful. They truly exhibit a Christlike love for people
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 was chatting with friends on twitter and that is where I learned about them. I am a mom of an autistic daughter and myself I have a rare type of cancer. It is a place for inspiration friendship and help when you need it. Out of the blue I recieved a basket from them with some much needed TLC . The basket came with just what we needed at that time it was a real blessing. They do such good work for parents of disabled kids.
This is an extraordinary group of people that are parents of special needs children themselves who take time out of their lives to minister to those in need. There is tremendous heart felt devotion to doing goodworks and helping others. They are one of the most worthwhile charities I have come across lately. They are hands on and make the lives of some very isolated parents and their families better.
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!
