Moms, Siblings and Self Advocates Night Out!
Rhode Island area Fragile X families had the pleasure of gathering together on April 12th for a fun night out. Even some parents from neighboring states joined the fun! The group of parents met at a local restaurant, called Safehouse, and parents were able to share experiences and resources.
This group will plan on meeting a few times through the year, and they hope that more families will see their events and join them in the future! If you’re interested in learning more, contact parent volunteer Marcella Almeida at fxlittlerhodywarriors@yahoo.com.
Together, We’re Stronger!
