#GivingTuesday
Supporting Families, Inspiring Hope.
Your gift on Giving Tuesday creates a ripple of hope, empowering people with disabilities and uplifting the families who love them.
At Aspire, we walk alongside people with disabilities and their families to build programs that create opportunities, foster belonging, and inspire hope. Together, we are creating ever-greater possibilities for people with disabilities for learning, jobs, and safe places to call home.
We have ambitious goals to raise $150,000 and help more families live fully. When you support Aspire this #GivingTuesday you uplift the parents, siblings, and caregivers seeking confidence and hope that their loved one will always have a place to belong.
All gifts made on #GivingTuesday will be 2x through a special match made possible by several generous Aspire donors.
Thank you for helping families find comfort, hope, and peace of mind through Aspire.

#GivingTuesday Ambassadors
We are excited to introduce you to our inspiring #GivingTuesday Ambassadors and their families! Through Ben, Sandra, and Reese’s stories, you’ll see how Aspire brings comfort, hope, and pride to families—offering reassurance that their loved ones are safe, cared for, and truly happy.
The difference your support makes comes to life in their powerful stories.
Ben
Ben’s love of coffee helps him connect and makes his family proud.
For Ben, connection starts with a cup of coffee. Every morning, he brews a pot for his parents—a simple act that reflects the pride and purpose he’s found at Aspire.
Ben faces challenges with communication, but coffee gives him a way to connect.
At Aspire CoffeeWorks, Ben feels valued and loves sharing Aspire’s story with everyone he meets. Coffee has become more than Ben’s work—it’s what connects him to not only his family, but the world. It’s a daily reminder of how far he’s come and how proud they all are.
For his parents, each cup represents more than just coffee—it’s belonging, purpose, and love.
Sandra
Sandra’s independence gives her mom lasting comfort.
When Sandra was a child, her mother was told she might never recover. But her mom refused to give up. “That’s our child,” she said — and cared for Sandra with the same devotion she gave all ten of her children. Through years of therapy and countless challenges, Sandra fought to regain her strength.
“She always wanted to do things on her own,” her mom recalls. “Her siblings would try to help, and she’d say, ‘I’ll do it.’” That spirit of independence only grew when Sandra joined Aspire. Surrounded by supportive staff and roommates, she developed a routine and the confidence to do things for herself. She found a place to belong.
Sandra’s growth has brought her mom the comfort she once longed for. Through Aspire, they’ve both found peace of mind and a community.
Reese
Aspire empowers Reese and gives his parents renewed hope for the future.
For Kevin, nothing compares to being with his son. “I just love being with my son,” he says, remembering the days when Reese would join him at work.
These days, Reese enjoys going for drives and exploring the community—always smiling and eager to meet new people. And at Aspire, that joy has only grown. “He is really developing,” Kevin shares proudly. He’s growing more independent, picking up new skills, and is rarely found without a smile on his face.
As Kevin focuses on his health and his wife manages work and the weight of daily life, Aspire has become a source of comfort and relief. With a supportive team and a steady morning routine, they know Reese is safe, thriving, and right where he belongs.
You can give that same peace of mind to more families like Ben, Sandra, and Reese’s this Giving Tuesday.
At Aspire, we work alongside people with disabilities to open doors and amplify possibilities. Our programs and partnerships help empower people, rethink accessibility, and reshape our communities.
