The organization estimates there are about ten thousand families across the state that qualify for their services.
INDIANAPOLIS — Holiday cheer filled the Indiana State Fairgrounds Sunday as hundreds of families got to experience a special event just for them.
"For a family with someone who has special needs, we don't feel like a family with someone with special needs while we are here," said Gwenivive's mother, Aja. "Not only are we in this world now but we are very alone in this world," Aja said. The Nelsons say events like A Kid Again's Holiday Adventure make them feel less alone.
A Kid Again hosts about 15 events, called adventures, a year. Right now they service around 700 families in Indiana alone. The organization started in Ohio but has been in Indiana for 5 years. The executive director says all of their adventures focus on the family as a whole. It's not just the children with special needs or life threatening illnesses that are getting gifts, siblings do as well.
