BLAST seeks community partners
The Record Herald
Children with special needs don’t want to be on the outside looking in. That’s the belief of Stacie Massett, a member of a new Waynesboro organization dedicated to providing support services for them.
BLAST, a nonprofit corporation that stands for Bold Loving Affirming Supportive Together, started on Facebook two and a half years ago as Waynesboro Area Special Needs Family Network. “We want to BLAST glass ceilings and take the ‘dis’ out of disability,” Massett said. “That’s our little motto.”
The movement began when Massett and other parents of children with special needs realized there were no community resources for them.
