Abby Care
Abby Care was founded on the belief that no one cares for a loved one better than family. We help parents and relatives become home health aides for their children or family members with intellectual and physical disabilities providing support, guidance, and resources every step of the way. Our goal is to make home care empowering, accessible, and family-centered.
Educational Resources Timoney Knox
Timoney Knox’s special education law practice is dedicated to helping parents navigate the complex legal landscape of securing appropriate educational services for children with disabilities in Pennsylvania public schools and charter schools. They help parents understand the educational and legal issues and documents that make up their child’s educational program. They work with parents as they prepare for IEP meetings. They represent parents and children in meetings and communications to resolve disputes with schools, including settlement of educational issues and claims for compensatory education. They represent parents in due process hearings and appeals when other options have not resulted in a reasonable resolution. They also assist families in properly establishing trusts for the use of compensatory education in addressing a child’s educational needs. Timoney Knox offers free initial consultations and often charges no fees to their clients in special education matters.
Brian Dawkins IMPACT Foundation - A Single Parent Family Program
Launching in early 2022, the Brian Dawkins Single Parent Families Program is designed to provide low-income single parents with the resources to support the well-being and attainment of their child.
The Single Parent Families Program will be solely administered by Caring People Alliance, and will be made possible by an initial $15,000 donation from the Brian Dawkins Impact Foundation. Caring People Alliance will make up to 30 grants for the children of low-income single parents, providing access to holistic education opportunities -whether they be academic, athletic, artistic, musical, vocational or related to mental wellbeing. Single parents are often doing superhero work and through this Program we want to provide additional support systems so that their children can take advantage of resources to strengthen their wellbeing, and help them get ahead in life.
Along the Way
We are dedicated to empowering single mothers and their families to break the chains of poverty. Through our programs, we provide childcare, job placement assistance, and support services, giving these mothers the tools they need to create a better life for themselves and their children. The impact we’ve seen has been nothing short of transformative, with countless families finding stability, hope, and a brighter future.
If you or someone you know could benefit from our services, please contact us. We’re always here to help!
