Andrej Dragičević Foundation for Special Needs Kids was started in 2022 for the St. Sava Orthodox Cathedral community in Milwaukee. The purpose of the foundation is to provide opportunities for our families who have children with delays or disabilities to come together in a safe environment and support one another. It is more challenging for these families to get out and explore.

 

Therefore, we meet one time a month and do a variety of activities that children and families enjoy. In 2024, we also started coffee outings for parents to hang out, connect, and share resources. As we continue to create a safe and welcoming environment at various church events and around the church grounds, we will encourage the community to ask questions, learn more and be friends/advocates for our special needs population. While also giving our special needs families the same opportunities that kids without special needs have (Sunday school, basketball, soccer, dancing, etc). All of the outings are covered by the group because of generous donations from parishioners and the community.

 

We also hope that we continue to spread the word of our wonderful organization. Thank you all for your love and support!

 

Lead with Love,

Andrej Dragičević Foundation for Kids with Special Needs!
