Impact
The Spectrum Nest Center will ease the burden on families of children with autism by providing safe, 24-hour respite care tailored to their unique needs. It will reduce caregiver burnout, support child development, and allow parentsāespecially in underserved communitiesāto work, rest, and thrive. By filling a critical gap in services, the center will create a more inclusive and supportive community in West Michigan.
What I'll do with $5,000
With $5,000, we will take the first critical steps toward launching the Spectrum Nest Center. Funds will go toward securing a safe and sensory-friendly space for care.
