Mom’s Day Out- Every year for the past 8 years, Thumbuddy Special sponsors our Moms Day Out Event. It truly is THE MOST MEANINGFUL experience for our moms. I am so proud of all the people that made this day possible. I wish I could possibly put it into words how much it means to these moms who are 24/7 caretakers of our special children. The emotions that are shown in the room at Carlucci are raw and genuine, you can literally feel the presence of the Holy Spirit guiding these ladies. These extraordinary women are the guardian Angels of these children with Special Needs. Here are a few of the thank yous from the moms…

“This day was amazing! I never really take the time for myself. I always thought I could handle anything on my own. And now I’m realizing that I need help. And that it is ok to ask for help. Being here today has not only relieved my stress but has taught me a lot about my community and the resources available to me. From the bottom of my heart, Thank you,” Jessica

“I really appreciate every second of this day. I loved the opportunity you gave me to meet new FRIENDS that understand exactly what I’m going through, to have someone else to talk to and hear me out. We are not alone and that there is bigger and better out there for our little ones”. Most Sincerest Thank You, Gladys

“Oh my goodness, where do I even begin? Thank you for the beautiful day of pampering and fellowship. I am touched beyond words by the generosity of your organization and more so for recognizing the challenges I face on a daily basis. Thank you for acknowledging me as a person; a separate human being from my child….You are changing the world, Thank you Thank you, Thank you…..Jennifer

From the Pampering to the Shopping to the pamper Baskets to the Fabulous Dinner at Carlucci, the day was perfect! Thank you all for your support!
