Parents and siblings are many times overlooked in services for someone with a disability, yet are the ones who often suffer the most with isolation, stress, depression, and exhaustion. It is important to care for the ENTIRE family: parents/caregivers, siblings, and those living with a disability.
[PAUZE] is a church-led initiative designed to provide a simple and practical way to serve families influenced by disability.
[PAUZE] is a time dedicated to serving families and individuals affected by disabilities. This time will provide an opportunity for the parents/caregivers a time to rest and rejuvenate, meet others walking a similar journey, be encouraged, laugh, create, be entertained, and be celebrated for all they are doing in their children’s lives. It is a simple way we hope to show God’s love to families affected by disability.
If you are interested in starting PAUZE at your church or want to know more about how you can serve families, please contact us at kmleatherwood@gmail.com

On September 16, 2018, we had an amazing event to celebrate people influenced by disability. It was a formal celebration at a beautiful palace in Rīga. The guests of honor were people with disabilities, celebrated together with friends, family, and people of Latvian society. The purpose of this grand event was to honor our special guests and to show them they are valued, loved, and respected. We told them how beautiful they are, highlighting God’s special love for them and everyone!! Red carpets, retro cars, live music, photography, food, sand art presentation, God’s story, and 220 guests made for an unforgettable time!!
