"This has broken me."

These words were given to a young mom early on her journey of navigating a life with her son Cooper, who was diagnosed with autism at the age of four. What Kate would do in her journey would eventually inspire millions with her heart and honesty about her son.

Kate Swenson, founder of Finding Cooper’s Voice, launched her website in November of 2014 in secret from her living room. She knew something was different about her son. She knew she was sad and confused and that it was much harder than it should be. She also knew she didn’t want anyone else to ever feel this alone in their feelings. She searched for a safe space, both online and in person, and couldn’t find one. So, she created one. Her writing speaks to the secret world of autism, the day-to-day wins and struggles, and the joy that comes from it.

She has been called honest, polarizing, raw, and gritty, and her relationship with her son has been described as breathtaking. She has created a safe place for families of children with disabilities to come together and share the unique joys and struggles that make up their lives. She publishes daily content written by special needs parents along with her own writing and videos.

Kate’s most emotional video, The Last Time We Believe It’s Going to be Okay, was shared by The Today Show in April and put her in the spotlight once again. Her voice is well respected throughout the special needs communities, and her page is the go-to in the world of autism.

Join us on July 18th for a night like no other. If you or your child has been impacted by Project Outreach service clubs, then help us spread our mission to every school we can reach! We hope to see you there!
