I am deeply grateful for the support and encouragement from the Friends of Children with Special Needs (FCSN) community. As the youngest Volunteer of the Year Award recipient, I was honored to receive this recognition on June 8, 2024, at the FCSN Annual Meeting and Family Day. This award, given to 1 youth volunteer out of over 2,400, was a humbling experience. I was privileged to deliver a speech in front of 300+ FCSN families.
