FEEL GOOD FRIDAY ✨
Where we share participant stories, family experiences, and the impact of the Center for ASD.

✨ Meet Wesley, one of our amazing participants in the THRIVE program! ✨ Every family has a unique journey, and we are honored to be a part of Wesley’s. We recently asked his mom to share how the Center has impacted their family, and her heartfelt words remind us why creating opportunities for connection, growth, and belonging is so important.

Here is what she had to share about their experience with the Center:
💬 Wesley really enjoys being at home with his family. He enjoys bouncing on his exercise ball, playing, and currently reading Harry Potter. Outside the home, he enjoys his activities with Boy Scouts, church, and riding his bike. His favorite subject in school is science, and he currently has a special interest in space.

What does he like most about Thrive? Wesley puts it best!
"It’s really chill, I have fun, and people like me there."

As parents, we have appreciated seeing Wesley be included and accepted. He never wants to miss an event. The times I have been up there at the Center- I see the kids having the time of their lives. Thanks for loving on our son and making him feel known and seen.

💙 Thank you, Wesley and family, for sharing your story with us.

What a weekend of giving. 🧩💙

We are still riding the high from not one but TWO incredible fundraisers — and we just have to say thank you.

First, to every family who came out to Burleson for our fundraiser night — thank you for showing up and supporting us just by enjoying a meal. Every bite made a difference! 🍦

And to the amazing Six Band — a HUGE thank you for not just performing but for organizing and putting this entire event together for Center for ASD. 🎸💙

Every dollar raised goes directly toward the families and participants we serve every single day. You made a difference this weekend — and we don’t take that lightly.

Thank you. From the bottom of our hearts. 💙

We are different on purpose. And so is this community.

🔥 TONIGHT (June 6th) from 7 PM–10 PM at Roadhouse on 67 — just west of Cleburne!

Come out for an incredible live performance by Seven 6 Band. If you’ve seen them before, you already know how great they are. If you haven’t, tonight is the night to experience it!

💙 Your support helps the Center for ASD! We’ll have a 50/50 raffle plus a few additional raffle items, with a goal of raising $1,000 to support Family Thrives.

Enjoy a fun night of live music while making a meaningful difference for local special needs families. Hope to see you there! 🎶
