Our Story
Our lives took an unexpected turn when we discovered the “special” gift of our daughter Amaya. We went through our share of frustration, anger, and confusion. We questioned God.
Fast-forward to now, we know, nothing happens without a reason.
God has a bigger plan and this journey is our purpose.
Amaya is our angel who has come to make a change in our lives and impact the lives of others. As someone said, “ God gives special people a special child, only because He knows no one else could take care of them as well as you would”.
Today, through our work at Communicare, through all we experienced seeking the best for our child; we’d like to be a catalyst for many other special children and their parents.
Our approach at Communicare is different, our intent strong and here we are, to make a meaningful change in the life of all special kids, be advocates for inclusion and give these children a life of dignity and independence they deserve, just like anyone else.
