💙 Want to make a splash in our families lives?

Every donation goes directly toward sending a family on a weekend away together, where they can slow down, swim, and enjoy each other without anything to manage.

💙 Thank you to the Christopher Catanese Children's Foundation.

We are grateful for their generous grant, which goes straight toward giving families a weekend away together, and we do not take it lightly when a foundation chooses to put its support behind our families.

Thank you for believing in this work. 🌊

💙 "This was a perfect way to unwind and reconnect after everybody's first week of school."

We are grateful we could give the MacDermott family a much needed weekend away together, because time like that is hard to come by and every family deserves a few days to just slow down and enjoy each other.

Thank you for sharing your weekend with us, and thank you to everyone who makes weekends like this possible. 🌊

💙 Seeing our families happy is the whole point, and this weekend delivered.

Watching our families relax, laugh, and spend a few days together without anything to manage is the reason we do what we do, and none of it happens without the hotels and resorts that welcome our families in and make them feel at home from the minute they arrive.

Thank you to the team at Margaritaville Resort Cape Cod for hosting our families, and to every partner who helps us create weekends like this one.

💙 "Thank you for giving our family the gift of time together, rest, and wonderful memories."

The Zepeda family joined us for a weekend recently, and what they came back with was the chance to slow down, relax, explore, and enjoy being a family without the usual responsibilities riding along.

Thank you for sharing this with us, and for letting other families see what a weekend can look like. 🌊

A huge shout out to our wonderful friends at Cape Abilities Farm for recently hosting our families! ☀️

Cameron and his dad had a great time exploring the grounds, learning about the farm, and enjoying some special father-son bonding time away from their usual routine. Partnering with amazing local organizations allows us to offer our families new, fun experiences during their getaways. 💙

💙 New this fall: travel preparation resources for every SWI family heading out on a weekend.

They were created for us by Rafaela Hoffman Correa, a former SWI mom and Certified Autism Travel Professional, who built them around the Predictable Travel Model, which uses visual preparation, sensory mapping, and emotional rehearsal to help a child get familiar with a trip before it starts.

Each family will receive a weekend preparation guide, a short parent and caregiver guide, and a visual guide to the hotel where they will be staying, and the whole thing is meant to be used selectively, because you know which pages will help your child and which ones will not.

Thank you, Rafaela, for turning your own family's experience into something every family after you gets to use. 🌊

💙 45 handmade teddy bears, one for every welcome bag going out to our families this fall.

Thank you to the Stitch and Sew group at the Millis Council on Aging , who call themselves the bear-making ladies and who made every one of these beautiful bears by hand, so each family we welcome gets a bear that holds the unique memories they make. 🌊
