We had the pleasure of hosting our client in town last week for two impactful days of collaboration. From meetings with department leaders and community providers to presenting before the Tennessee Council on Autism Spectrum Disorder, it was a meaningful and energizing experience.

We’re proud to represent organizations that are making a real difference by supporting individuals with autism, as well as the families and caregivers who stand alongside them.

This week at ‘s Day on the Hill, we were proud to share with lawmakers. It was a meaningful gesture that carries an even more powerful story behind it.

I recently had the chance to hear Evane Stoner’s journey. As a former client of Our Kids, her story is nothing short of inspiring. Seeing how she turned her experiences into something hopeful and creative. This is a reminder of the resilience and strength that can grow from even the most difficult circumstances.

April is Child Sexual Abuse Awareness Month, and it’s a time to reflect on the importance of protecting children and supporting survivors. Our Kids is committed to providing critical services to children and families across Tennessee by offering care, advocacy, and a path toward healing. Stories like Evane’s show why this work matters.
