Best Buddies is expanding. The nonprofit that supports people with disabilities now offers a new program. It provides support to families of children with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
Eunie’s Buddies pairs experienced parents of a child with an IDD with new parents who are expecting, have just welcomed a baby, or are raising a child up to the age of eight years old who has been recently diagnosed with an IDD.
