About
OUR STORY
Aidan’z House was formed by a single parent, Natasha, of a child with an Intellectual Disability. With a mission to create a supportive network for Special Need parents. The organization was incorporated in 2014, Los Angeles, California. In 2017, Aidan’z House became a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, with team of Special Need Parents/Advocates in pursue for equitable change in their communities. Their work as Special Needs Parents/ Advocates included Aidan’z Toy House and Whole Heart Closet.
UP TO THIS DAY
With the generosity of community partners, Aidan’z House has hosted six holiday giveaways, gifting 1,250 children and 300 plus families in under-resourced and rural communities of Los Angeles, Watts, Inglewood, Compton, and in the San Gabriel Valley (providing toys, clothes, and new shoes). These efforts have reached communities where 51% of households are low to moderate income. Aidan’z House has partnered with the Inglewood Police Department for the 2017 “Shop with The Cop” holiday event in an effort to foster a healthy relationship between low-income families of children with disabilities and the Inglewood Police Dept. Additionally, Aidan’z House has adopted ten schools, providing resources, school supplies, uniforms, and sporting equipment to Special Ed. classrooms. During the Covid-19 Pandemic, the organization gifted PPE, toys, clothes, and new shoes to forty Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) families experiencing housing insecurities in Los Angeles, CA. Subsequently, they identified seven African American/Black single mothers of children with Developmental/Intellectual and Behavior Disabilities from this group as potential participants of Aidan’z House – Emotional Wealth Initiative, a financial literacy program.
