In April 2025, Special Needs Respite was listed as a beneficiary of a car show fundraiser organized by Car Community Connection. While we were honored to be chosen and the event itself was successful, we regret to share that we have only received a small portion of the funds that were publicly stated as donated to our organization.

​

Despite repeated follow-ups and numerous explanations from the organizer, we have received only $7,000 to date (about 15% of what was promised). We are continuing to pursue the remaining funds that were promised to us and expected by our donors and supporters.

​

We are also aware that our name and logo continue to be used in promotional materials and online media in ways that imply a completed partnership or full funding, which does not reflect the actual outcome. We are working to address this and ensure an accurate public record.

​

We share this to keep our supporters informed and to help other nonprofits make informed decisions when approached for similar events. We remain deeply grateful to the community, sponsors, and car show participants who supported our mission and continue to do so.
