Supporting Individuals with Special Needs for God's Glory
Join us in spreading joy!
Who We Are
From the very beginning, Ellie & Friends was founded with a mission: to support individuals with special needs for God’s glory. Through God’s provision and the generosity of faithful donors, friends, and family, our impact has grown far beyond what we first imagined. In addition to private special education scholarships, we’ve provided comfort boxes to families navigating medical crisis, spread joy to parents and educators of children with special needs, funded home adaptations to improve families’ well-being, provided opportunities for intensive therapies and even paid tuition for a young man with cerebral palsy to attend The University of Georgia’s Destination Dawg program. Trusting an unknown future to a known God has truly led us down an amazing journey that we continue to pursue through Ellie & Friends and our community.
