After a year of staying at home, 12 families from our 1 Cor 1:27 Parent Support Group had a wonderful day planned by a group of youth volunteers. During COVID, the support group meet regularly online to foster relationships among families affected by disabilities. This was their first big in-person gathering and it was filled with laughter and joy.

The transition online was not easy at first. Ming had not attended any Poiema meetings before the pandemic, and was worried about getting along with others. As he slowly warmed up, his transformation was obvious to other parents and program participants.
