Our Second Gala

Our Second gala brought great concern for me and I think it will continue to concern me for quite some time.  That is will anyone show up?  Seaner has been gone for 1 ½ years, I wondered if I am the only one that remembers him and if everyone else has forgotten about him? 

We again were blessed with wonderful attendance.  Kara blew it out of the park when it came to auction items with over 80 items.  We had a wonderful choir (Sound Reach Choir) perform that was composed of God’s special adults and Miss Amazing Iowa winners helping everyone feel welcome.  

Drew Brown who was the SMILE award winner for 2015 presented Ryan Van Hooser the 2016 SMILE award and his acceptance speech was the hit of the night.  Again we were blessed with donations beyond our beliefs.

Happy Parents Day

What Matters Most to God's Amazing Adults

Getting Involved In the Community - NOT

According to a study completed by daddcec.org on getting involved in the community only 5.6% of God's Amazing Adults get involved in activities and rely on family 88.9% of the time.  As we discussed in June “We have increased the number of God’s Special individuals 322% however, the amount of family support has decreased 51%.”  So you can imagine the difficulties our adults are having

4th of July

Taking a bit of a break on our progress as a foundation for Independence Day.

As we reflect on this holiday about the liberties and freedoms that our forefathers fought for us; 

our foundation celebrates that our Declaration of Independence references WE THE PEOPLE that is inclusive of everyone for their goal for independence.  Independence is at the core of what we at the God’s Got This^® - Sean Nielsen Foundation work towards. For people with disabilities, ‘independence’ can have diverse and very personal meaning.

For God’s Special adults working with our foundation it means participating in, and contributing to their community, getting an opportunity to prove themselves, worshipping God in their wonderful and unique way.  We continue to work so they can reach their version of independence through inclusion.  Help us celebrate this holiday in a way that includes ALL individuals.
