Crew is my son, but he may be your brother, your daughter, or someone you haven't even met yet.  He is special and yet he is like any other child.

OUR PURPOSE

Everyone deserves to feel comfortable in their own skin.

Crew's Voice provides children with all types of special needs and their families opportunities to participate in recreational and social activities through our unique "Buddy Program". 

Our goal is to enhance the lives of children with special needs by promoting community awareness, direction to available resources and a safe environment developed from the shared experiences of all involved.

special needs moms
                           A look inside

You may think us “special moms” have it pretty rough.

We have no choice. 
We just manage life when things get really tough.

We’ve made it through the days
We thought we’d never make it through.

We’ve even impressed our own selves with all that we can do.

We’ve gained patience beyond measure,
Love we never dreamed of giving.

We worry about the future
But know this “special” life’s worth living.

We have bad days and hurt sometimes,
But we hold our heads up high.

We feel joy and pride and thankfulness more often than we cry.

For our kids, we aren’t just supermoms. 
No, we do so much more.

We are cheerleaders, nurses and therapists
Who don’t walk out the door.

We handle rude remarks and unkind stares
With dignity and grace.

Even though the pain they bring cannot be erased.

Therapies and treatment routes are a lot for us to digest.

We don’t know what the future holds but give our kids our best.

None of us can be replaced,
So we don’t get many breaks.

It wears us out, but to help our kids,
We’ll do whatever it takes.

We are selfless, not by choice, you see. 
Our kids just have more needs.

We’re not out to change the world,
But want to plant some seeds.

We want our kids accepted. 
That really is our aim.

When we look at them we just see kids. 
We hope you’ll do the same.
