A Grateful Community: Celebrating Buda's Brightside and the Dayhab Parent Coalition
As parents of adult children with developmental disabilities, finding a place where our children can feel safe, valued, and connected is a profound blessing. For many of us, Buda's Brightside has become that place—a welcoming dayhab service where our children can meet with friends and call it a place of their own. This achievement is not just a testament to the dedicated staff and supportive community but also to the collaborative efforts of the dayhab parent coalition. Together, we have created a haven of joy, growth, and inclusion for our children.
A Place to Belong
Buda's Brightside is more than just a facility; it's a vibrant community where our children thrive. Here, they form friendships, engage in meaningful activities, and explore new interests in a nurturing environment. The joy and sense of belonging that Buda's Brightside brings to our children are immeasurable. Knowing that they have a place where they are understood, accepted, and loved fills our hearts with gratitude.
The Power of Parental Collaboration
The journey to establishing Buda's Brightside has been a collective effort, driven by the passion and commitment of the dayhab parent coalition. As parents, we recognized the need for a dedicated space where our children could receive the care and support they deserve. By coming together, pooling our resources, and advocating for our children's needs, we have made this dream a reality.
Our coalition has been instrumental in shaping the vision and operations of Buda's Brightside. From fundraising initiatives to volunteer efforts, we have worked tirelessly to ensure that the dayhab center meets the highest standards of care and inclusivity. This collective endeavor has not only benefited our children but has also strengthened our bonds as a community of parents who share a common goal.
