November 4, 2024, Colorado Springs, CO – by Sarah Ferguson, Sponsored Content by WireNut Home Services: During the month of October 2024, the nonprofit, Special Kids Special Families was nominated for the 3-Degree Guarantee, made possible through the partnership between FOX21 News and WireNut Home Services. The total raised by the 3-Degree Guarantee in October was ,620, all of which will be donated toward Special Kids Special Families and its mission to promote, strengthen and support individuals with disabilities, their families and caregivers. Kevin Porter, Executive Director for Special Kids Special Families, along with WireNut’s President, Trent Urban, joined FOX21 Chief Meteorologist Matt Meister on Monday, Nov. 4 to talk about the nonprofit’s mission and what it means to WireNut to help out with the cause.

Special Kids Special Families was founded in 1999 and has three facilities in Colorado Springs. The organization supports children, adults, and seniors with special needs. According to the nonprofit, “We provide care at our day facilities, in the community, and in the home. We turn no one away for inability to pay.”

“We have been around for 25 years and this year is our Silver Anniversary,” said Porter. “Special Kids Special Families was started by a mom with a kiddo with special needs, frustrated by a lack of resources in the community, and she has started something that has grown and prospered and we are just so fortunate and blessed to do what we do every day.”
