Heise
The Heise Family
“Wonders & Worries gave us the tools to raise compassionate humans.”
After the seventh time fainting while out running errands with her two young sons, Jenna Heise knew something was wrong. With her diagnosis came the opportunity for Jenna and her husband to learn new parenting and communication skills.

Supporter Spotlight:
Robyn Lawrence
“My favorite tool to help deal with stress was my blanket. It helped me remember that someone cares about me and my family, and that I shouldn't be afraid.”
Robyn Lawrence, a former client, completed her Girl Scout Gold Award by creating a blanket donation program for Wonders & Worries. And you can help!
Season For Caring
This year we nominated Ashley McGill and her two children, Alyanna (10) and Preston (6) for the Season for Caring Campaign. Ashley suffers from neurological disorders which cause debilitating headaches and render her unable to work. Through the Campaign, Ashley and her children were invited to light the Driskill Christmas Tree, and she received an adjustable Tempur-Pedic bed so she doesn’t have to sleep in a chair. Your generosity keeps families like Ashley’s physically and mentally supported.

Window Into Wonders & Worries
Several children added to their coping kits this month and talked about what helps them relax. They also made anti-stress balls with water, orbeez and balloons. You can too!
We Will Celebrate, Together
From the Wonders & Worries staff, we wish you a season of love and light.

On Nov. 19, Drs. Anu and Punit Chadha gathered friends to enjoy fine wines from Kosta Browne along with a delectable tasting menu from Uchi. The evening raised $30,000 for Wonders & Worries, which allows us to provide 40 children with our support for a year. A big thank you to Kosta Browne, Uchi and the Chadhas for hosting this wonderful event!
Thank you to the Austin branch of the National Association of the Remodeling Industry (NARI) for selecting us as the beneficiary for a portion of their 2016 home tour ticket sales. What an honor and delight!
