A letter from our Founders

Dear Friends,

Welcome to Specially Gifted Foundation. We’re Bree Lanham and Macey Belter, and we’re honored to share our story with you.

Our journey began long before we founded this organization five years ago. For Bree, it started with her sister Kendall, who has severe cerebral palsy. Growing up alongside Kendall opened Bree’s eyes to the unique challenges and joys that come with having a family member with disabilities.

Macey’s path intersected with the Kernion family twelve years ago when she became Kendall’s therapy facilitator. Over the years, Macey witnessed firsthand the resilience, love, and determination that define families in the special needs community.

Our experiences led us to a shared vision: creating a foundation that could make a real difference in the lives of families like the Kernions. We wanted to offer support, resources, and a sense of community to those navigating the complex world of raising children with disabilities.

As we reflect on our five-year journey, we’re continually amazed and inspired by the wonderful families we serve. The strength and spirit of these children and their loved ones drive us forward every day. We’re also deeply grateful for our generous supporters who make our work possible. Their contributions have been crucial in helping us reach and assist more families in need.

This journey has been more rewarding than we could have ever imagined. We’ve seen firsthand how the right support can transform lives, bringing hope and joy to families facing unique challenges.

As we look to the future, we’re more committed than ever to expanding our reach and deepening our impact. With your support, we can continue to make a difference, one family at a time.

Thank you for being part of our Specially Gifted family.

With gratitude,

Bree Lanham & Macey Belter
