Our board features members with professional backgrounds in healthcare, social work, and special education. It truly takes a village to raise a child. We hope you will join us in the effort to be a bridge for families who need it the most.

Manny's Village was founded by the parents of a little boy named Emmanuel or 'Manny'. Manny is an ex 23-weeker micro-preemie who spent 11 months in the hospital before coming home. Moved by the compassion and stories of those they met along the journey, his parents decided to pay it forward by supporting families in similar circumstances.

Having a sick child or a child with special needs can have significant emotional, psychological, and financial implications for a family. The mission of Manny's Village is to share hope, support, and resources to children and families passing through difficult times by partnering with communities, hospitals, and organizations to support medically complex children and their families.
