Have you ever heard of The Sweet Cocoon? It’s more than just a playground – it’s a special place created just for children with special needs. It’s a safe and welcoming environment where kids can play, explore, and be themselves.
How the Sweet Cocoon Came to Be
The Sweet Cocoon was started by a mom named Amanda Bohannon. Her daughter, Marlowe, has Sanfilippo Syndrome, and Amanda saw how hard it was for Marlowe and other kids with special needs to find a place to play and have fun. Amanda felt called to create a space where these kids could feel accepted and supported.
Building a Dream
Creating The Sweet Cocoon wasn’t easy. Amanda had to raise money, find a space, and get the word out about her idea. But she never gave up on her dream. With the help of other parents and volunteers, she finally made The Sweet Cocoon a reality.
