RESOURCES FOR PARENTS
We know being a parent is hard, and you are always looking for great ideas of things to do with your kids. As we hear about local resources that may be of benefit to parents of children with special needs, we will add them here. We, as an organization, do not necessarily endorse these options but want to provide the information to our community in hopes it will be helpful.

Icing Smiles provides custom celebration cakes and other treats to families impacted by the critical illness of a child. We understand that the simple things, like a birthday cake, are luxuries to a family battling illness. Our goal is to create a custom cake for the ill child, or their sibling, that provides a temporary escape from worry and creates a positive memory during a difficult time.
