💙 We are incredibly honored and grateful to have been selected as the recipient of a generous donation from Brittany Sumner of Berkshire ABA. 💙

As part of her recognition through Berkshire Community College's 40 Under Forty Award, Brittany chose Families Like Ours as the organization to receive her charitable contribution.

Brittany's dedication to supporting children and families in our community extends far beyond her professional work, and we are deeply thankful for her belief in our mission.

This donation will help provide respite support for families raising children with special needs, allowing parents and caregivers to maintain employment and meet work responsibilities during the summer months while ensuring their loved ones receive safe, compassionate care.

Thank you, Brittany, for this meaningful gift and for helping us strengthen and support special needs families throughout Berkshire County. Congratulations on being recognized as one of Berkshire Community College's 40 Under Forty honorees—this recognition is so well deserved! 🌟

Dive Into Community: Swim Sessions for All Abilities.
Swim Sessions for All Abilities is happening every Friday throughout the year now from 12:00PM – 1:00 PM at Berkshire South Regional Community Center (15 Crissey Rd, Great Barrington).

This is a relaxed, open swim time for families raising children with all abilities — siblings and parents are welcome, too! No registration required; just bring your suits and come cool off with us.

To help us continue offering this program year-round, we are inviting families and friends to contribute through a “pay what you can” model or a donation. Every contribution, no matter the size, helps us cover the costs of keeping this special space open for everyone. https://givebutter.com/COM0KK
