This is what it looks like when community shows up for families. 💛

Our 2026 Sensory Easter Egg Hunt & Story Time Adventure created a space where every child felt included, supported, and celebrated 🐣✨

3 sensory-friendly egg hunts. 2 story times.
Joy, connection, and belonging all around.

Miss Melissa brought story time to life under the gazebo—Splash from the Stockton Ports joined in, and the Easter Bunny kept the magic going 🐰📚

We were honored to be recognized by Mayor Dan Arriola and Assemblymember Rhodesia Ransom for Autism Awareness & Developmental Disabilities Awareness Month 💛

Dr. Vaughn provided developmental screenings so families left with support and next steps.

Thank you to our community partners DDS & VMRC, sponsors, and donors—including Texas Roadhouse for 125 kids meals & SensorE for donating Easter Baskets.

This is Families United.
Together We Can. 💛✨

Today is about more than awareness… it’s about understanding, acceptance, and action. 💙

At Families United, we don’t just talk about autism—we walk alongside families every single day. We sit in the meetings, answer the late-night calls, and help parents find their voice—because no one should have to navigate this journey alone.

And today, we give special honor to the real MVPs…

✨ To the parents who fight battles no one sees, who advocate in rooms that weren’t built for them, and who love their children fiercely every single day.
✨ To the caregivers who show up with patience, compassion, and consistency—even on the hardest days.
✨ To the teachers and educators who go above and beyond to create inclusive spaces where every child can learn, grow, and shine.

You are the heartbeat of this community.

Autism is not one story—it’s many.
And behind every child is a team that refuses to give up on them.

We see you. We appreciate you. We stand with you.

Because at Families United…
✨ no family walks this journey alone. Together we can!
