Community DC Host Dennis Glasgow speaks with a Mom, parent and recipient of Jill's House, a Christian nonprofit organization that loves and serves families of children, adolescents, and young adults with profound intellectual disabilities through short-term, overnight respite care and holistic family support services. Regularly throughout the year, parents send their kids with intellectual disabilities to our “respite resort” in Vienna, VA, or to one of our camp locations around the country for 24-48 hour stays. The kids get an amazing experience in a safe, fun, loving, and celebratory environment. Meanwhile, their parents get a break. They get to sleep through the night. They get to go on a date. They get to give undivided attention to their other children. Most families take these things for granted. But for Jill’s House families, these are rare and precious gifts—they’re a lifeline. We’ll get a chance to visit with one of the parents who has been helped in a amazing way by Jill’s house – Holly who’s going to talk about her amazing son Jacob – who’s 13 and who Jill's House and made a huge impact with the entire family and especially her son!.
