Every Family Seen.
Every Parent Supported.
Who We Are
Rising Hands is a nonprofit dedicated to strengthening families in Idaho, especially those walking the challenges of special needs, developmental differences, and the emotional weight that comes with caring for children who require extra support.
Did you know?
Nearly 1 in 5 children in Idaho live with special health care needs, and nationally 1 in 31 children are identified with autism. Behind those numbers are families carrying real emotional and practical burdens that often go unseen. Parents are juggling appointments, therapies, worries, and hopes, many times without enough support. Rising Hands exists so no family has to walk this journey alone. We believe every parent deserves compassion, every child deserves to be valued, and every family deserves to feel supported.
