HollyRod4Kids: Our Mission
Posted by hollyrod4kids on Nov 20, 2009
The HollyRod Foundation was started by Holly Robinson Peete and Rodney Peete thirteen years ago to give a voice and a hand to those striving for quality of life when theirs has been diminished due to disease or disorders. Through watching Holly’s father, Matthew T. Robinson, struggle with Parkinson’s disease the Peetes were moved to form the foundation. After Holly and Rodney’s eldest son, RJ, was diagnosed with autism, the foundation expanded it’s mission creating the hollyrod4kids initiative. Like Parkinson’s, Autism -which affects 1 in 110 children, 1 in 67 boys-can decimate families phyisically, emotionally, financially and spiritually. HollyRod Foundation paves its road through the simple act of providing comfort along the way with medical, physical and emotional support to achieve a better quality of life for individuals and their families. HollyRod Foundation is currently developing plans to open their first "hollyrod4kids ‘Miracle House’" in Los Angeles, a central location where families in the autism community can go for support, guidance, treatment and hope. As Holly says " we need to help these children live their lives and achieve their fullest potential." Your support allows us to see our dream become a reality!
