Across North Texas, individuals with neurological disabilities and their caregivers face overwhelming challenges that too often go unmet—limited access to affordable support, isolation from meaningful social connections, and a lack of holistic resources designed to improve quality of life. Caregivers are stretched beyond their limits, while those living with disabilities struggle to find programs that truly address their unique and evolving needs.
In 2020, Able Faith was born out of a journey of faith and resilience—a commitment to stand in the gap where services fall short. In June 2023, we celebrated the grand opening of the Able Faith Center—a 6,000+ square foot facility located at 4350 Sigma Road, Suite 100, Dallas, TX 75244, near the Addison area of DFW. Today, we provide a multi-faceted, holistic approach that ensures no one has to walk this journey alone. From adaptive physical training that strengthens the body, to respite meals that nourish and relieve caregivers, to transit assistance that restores independence, to life-changing quality of life grants, every program is designed with accessibility, affordability, and compassion at its core.
At Able Faith, we believe in more than just meeting immediate needs—we believe in restoring dignity, fostering empowerment, and enriching lives spiritually, physically, and emotionally. The vast majority of our services are offered at little to no cost, making community support essential to sustain and grow this mission.
Able Faith is a growing, donor-funded nonprofit powered by a small but mighty staff, a dedicated team of volunteers, a strong and supportive Board of Directors, and the generosity of those who believe in our mission. Jose Martinez, one of our co-founders, continues to lead the day-to-day operations as CEO & President, guiding the mission with purpose and heart. We believe that even in the face of paralysis, purpose and progress are always possible. Together, we help each other turn the page toward possibility.
Able Faith has achieved a profound and measurable impact on the lives of individuals with neurological disabilities and their caregivers within North Texas. Our commitment to providing essential, high-quality services has yielded exceptional results:
* 929 adaptive physical training sessions have demonstrably enhanced the physical well-being and functional mobility of our valued members.
* 60 respite meals and 40 transit rides have provided critical relief to caregivers, offering much-needed breaks from demanding routines and alleviating significant transportation burdens.
* 8 quality of life grants have directly empowered individuals to pursue personal aspirations and realize tangible improvements in their daily living.
* 6 adaptive classes and 3 caregiver groups have successfully fostered crucial skill development and cultivated vital, supportive peer networks.
* Our 3 Pop-Up Service and the welcoming of 21 new members have significantly expanded our outreach and profoundly strengthened our community bonds.
* The successful launch of weekly hybrid Bible Studies for people with disabilities has created an accessible and enriching avenue for spiritual growth.
* The Roll & Glow Makeup Master Class, a truly empowering event attended by 13 incredible women living with disabilities and expertly led by beauty influencer Lusine Antonian, served as a powerful testament to our dedication to celebrating confidence, connection, and community. As one participant eloquently shared, "the session was more than just makeup — it was a celebration of confidence, connection, and community."
The tangible and deeply personal impact of our programs is perhaps best illustrated by the heartfelt gratitude expressed by those we are privileged to serve.
To positively uplift the lives of underreached individuals with physical and neurological disabilities and their families through programs targeted at improving quality of life emotionally, socially, and physically.
