💖 Mission

Parent to Parent Family Support Network High Country (FSN-HC) provides support, education and caring connections to families who:

• Support for families: have children with diverse physical, emotional, intellectual or health needs.
• Available resources: have a child born prematurely.
• Grieving support: or are grieving the death of a child.
• Community outreach: We serve Alleghany, Ashe, Mitchell, Watauga, Wilkes, and Yancey Counties in the NC "High Country".

🌟 Our Vision

Our Vision is to touch every family in our community who needs our support.

💰 Funds Raised Will Help

• Connections: One-on-one connections among families who know the joys and challenges of raising a child with special needs.
• Support groups: Support groups where families come together to share ideas and information, laugh, cry, and support each other.
• Skill-building: Workshops where families gain new skills to help them help their children.
