Family Testimonials
“Wings of Hope has been a wonderful and positive experience for our whole family. It’s become a fun and important priority that my kids look forward to attending over the past year and half. It’s such a “much needed” social event for this community. Laurelville is great location with lots to offer. Angela and all of the staff put in great effort to ensure each child is comfortable and involved. The events are always organized and flexible with lots of fun variety. Not only do the kids get to socialize in their own unique ways, but also it’s a time for local families to connect and share experiences."

“We are so grateful for Angela and the entire Wings of Hope team and the impact it has on our family! It provides a safe, supportive, and welcoming environment where our son is free to be himself without the difficulties that come with navigating community activities with autism. The staff are patient, compassionate and knowledgeable and even consider our sons dietary needs when planning themed nights. We have gotten to experience things we otherwise never could have - foam parties, pool parties, and bonfires just to name a few of our favorites!
Just as importantly, being part of Wings of Hope has helped our whole family feel less isolated -- we feel supported and have the opportunity to connect with other special needs parents”.

"I love taking Mateo to Wings of Hope because it is a safe place to play, express yourself, and share with other children. The love and dedication they have with the children in that place is indescribable. Mateo loves being there so much and playing and interacting with the director. In this place there are no limits no matter what condition you have they will always make you feel a part of them"

We started coming to Wings of Hope in 2025, and it has been an amazing experience for our family. My daughter, who is epileptic and autistic, absolutely loves attending the events Wings of Hope offers. She enjoys interacting with the other children and the staff, and she always looks forward to coming.
Wings of Hope give her a safe and supportive place where she can truly be herself and express her personality without
fear of judgment. Whether it’s sports, crafts, decorating, building activities, or movie nights, she is always asking when we can go and can’t wait to see everyone. Our community is truly blessed to have such a wonderful program, led by staff members who genuinely care”. -The Ulery Family
