Exceptional Housing for Exceptional People.

“What will happen to my child when I’m no longer here?”⁠
⁠
It’s a question so many parents of children with special needs ask themselves. Cecilia Perez was no different.⁠
⁠
Her son Alexander is 29 and on the autism spectrum. He was looking for a place of his own where he could build a life and feel at home.⁠
⁠
When they heard about Casa Familia, Cecilia and her family were willing to leave their jobs and loved ones in New Jersey and move to Miami.⁠
⁠
“I would do it again tomorrow if I had to.” — Cecilia Perez⁠
⁠
This Give Miami Day, help more adults like Alexander find a place to call home. Your gift to Casa Familia supports affordable housing and independent living for adults with Intellectual, Developmental, and Other Related Disabilities.⁠
⁠
Give at the link in our bio. 🏠❤️⁠

Because an exceptional life begins at home.

We asked to go to The Miami Foundation… and The Miami Foundation came to us. 👀⁠ ⁠
⁠
Episode 4: Plot twist? 🚐⁠
The committee had questions.⁠..⁠
⁠
Was it for the quinceañera? No. ❌⁠
Was there a mariachi? No. ❌⁠
Was there cake? No. ❌⁠
⁠
But there WAS a South Dade Kia car, fully decked out for Give Miami Day's 15th birthday and making its way around Miami. 🎉💜⁠
⁠
Thank you @miamifoundation and @southdadekia for making a stop at Casa Familia Kendall! Our residents loved every second.⁠
⁠
So… does this mean the committee is still going to The Miami Foundation?⁠
We'll see. 🤔⁠
⁠
Every Give Miami Day gift goes toward our $200,000 goal and the programs and community that help Casa Familia residents build exceptional lives.⁠

One semester of Spanish. Zero hesitation. Max is officially part of our Give Miami Day Committee, and Stefano is trying very hard not to laugh. 😂⁠

What does a maraca sound like? Honestly? We're hoping it sounds like $200,000. 💸⁠

In case you missed Episode 3 of our Give Miami Day Committee…⁠
⁠
Suzi kindly let us know a mariachi was not in the budget. So she gave us maracas instead.⁠

Episode 3: The negotiations. 🤝⁠
⁠
The committee went to Suzi with a few small requests…⁠
⁠
Quinceañera party ❌⁠
A trip to The Miami Foundation 🤞⁠
Mariachi ❌⁠
Maracas… or one (1) tambourine ✅⁠
Cake ❓❓❓⁠
⁠
Suzi is doing her best. Joseph is holding it together (barely). Caro just wants her cake. 🎂⁠

Casa Familia staff had one question for the Give Miami Day Committee... ⁠
⁠
"How are you guys fundraising money? Can you break it down for us?"⁠
The Give Miami Day Committee: say less. 💃🕺⁠
⁠
Strategy meeting ✅⁠
Dance break ✅⁠
How this raises $200,000 ❓❓❓⁠
(The committee took "break it down" very seriously.)⁠
⁠
Here's the real breakdown: every Give Miami Day gift supports the programs and community that help Casa Familia residents build lives of their own.⁠

The committee has the moves covered. The rest is up to you.⁠

Meet Carolina, our Give Miami Day committee chair and your typical Miami girl. 💁‍♀️☕️⁠
⁠
She has a job, a boyfriend, a TikTok to keep up with… and now a $200,000 fundraising goal.⁠
⁠
Her first move? Call Eric.⁠
Her big idea? A quinceañera.⁠
Eric's response? Nearly had her spitting out her croqueta. 😂⁠
⁠
Welcome to Casa Familia’s Give Miami Day Committee: Episode 1. Follow along! We have a lot to raise...and apparently a lot to explain.⁠
⁠
Help Carolina out: explain what a quinceañera is in the comments so Eric can catch up.👇
