More than one billion people struggle with disability…
Each day families living with disability deal with spiritual, emotional, and financial challenges. Through local outreach and Christ-centered programs, Joni and Friends Texas provides practical help and Gospel hope to families living with disability.
Your generous gift today is transforming lives right here in North Texas!
Joni and Friends was founded in 1979 by Joni Eareckson Tada, best-selling author and teacher, and one of the world’s leading international advocates for people living with disability. A diving accident in 1967 left Joni, then 17, quadriplegic and in a wheelchair. After two years of rehabilitation, she emerged with a fresh determination to help others in similar situations.
Joni and Friends serves communities internationally and throughout the United States through 19 local Area Ministry offices, including Joni and Friends Texas. Since 1997, Joni and Friends Texas has served more than 6,500 families, Veterans, caregivers, and children living with disability throughout the state and surrounding communities.
Vision: A world where every person with a disability finds hope, dignity, and their place in the body of Christ.
Mission: To glorify as we communicate the Gospel and mobilize the global church to evangelize, disciple, and serve people living with disability.
As families who live with disability grapple with the challenges of daily life, you can provide a wheelchair or a scholarship for a family member to attend one of our Retreats & Getaways!
· $250 provides a wheelchair
· $500 sends one family member to Family Retreat, Warrior Getaway, or Marriage Getaway
· $2,000 sends an entire family to Family Retreat or Warrior Getaway
Your gift of any amount helps support the needs of those living with disability. Thank you for sharing hope through hardship and meeting the needs of local families.
What a blessing you are!
Joni and Friends Texas serves people affected by all types of disability and does not discriminate based on age, race, gender, color, national or ethnic origin, religion, disability, or veteran status. We know of no other organization that provides the special opportunity for entire veteran families to attend a week-long retreat together no matter the disability.
