Today we celebrated our June birthdays at Eternal Anchor! 🧡🎉
Happy birthday to 𝗚𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗼𝗻, 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗰𝗼𝘀, 𝗥𝗮𝘂𝗹, and 𝗘𝗶𝗸𝗲𝗿!
Our school patio was full of smiles, cake, laughter, friends, and the kind of joy that reminds us why moments like these matter so much. Birthday celebrations may seem simple, but they are a beautiful way to say to each student: you are known, you are valued, and your life is worth celebrating.
For many of our students, school is more than a place to learn. It is a place of friendship, belonging, consistency, and community. Celebrations like today help create memories, strengthen relationships, and remind every child that they are surrounded by people who see them, love them, and cheer them on.
We are so grateful for these four birthday boys and for the joy they bring to Eternal Anchor. Help us wish Gerson, Marcos, Raul, and Eiker a very happy birthday! 🎂🎈#InclusiveEducation #birthdaycelebration #belonging ... See MoreSee Less

Members of our Friendship Club Without Barriers received earnings from artwork and handcrafted items they created and sold through the Eternal Anchor gift shop.
And this moment matters.
Every painting, soap, coaster, card, and handmade piece represents creativity, patience, skill, choice, and personal expression. But when those creations are valued by others—and when our members receive the money they earned—it becomes something even more powerful.
It says:
𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸 𝗵𝗮𝘀 𝘃𝗮𝗹𝘂𝗲.
𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗴𝗶𝗳𝘁𝘀 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗵 𝘀𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴.
𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗰𝗮𝗽𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲.
𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗯𝗲𝗹𝗼𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝗻 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗰𝗲𝘀 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗽𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗲, 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗯𝘂𝘁𝗲, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻.
For adults with disabilities, opportunities like this help build confidence, dignity, independence, and self-worth. It is not charity. It is meaningful work, real participation, and a beautiful reminder that everyone has something valuable to offer.
Every purchase from the Eternal Anchor gift shop helps celebrate the creativity of our Friendship Club artisans while supporting the work of Eternal Anchor. Their handmade items are also available through our Etsy store, so you can support their work from wherever you are.

Welcome Back, Dr. Treva Richards!
One year ago, Treva (at left) joined Eternal Anchor as a physical therapy intern from the UTMB Health (University of Texas Medical Branch), where she completed a clinical experience under the guidance of her former professor and our own PT and Global Health Coordinator, Erin Cottos.
Today, we're thrilled to welcome her back...not as a student, but as a colleague.
Dr. Treva Richards is now a licensed physical therapist practicing at the City Base clinic of Texas Physical Therapy Specialists in San Antonio. For the next three weeks, she will be volunteering with Eternal Anchor, serving alongside Erin and sharing her skills with our patients and team.
Adding to the excitement, Treva will also be reunited with two of our current UTMB students, Kat and Sara, who are completing an 8-week clinical rotation with us as physical therapy interns. It's a special full-circle moment to see former classmates serving together in different stages of their professional journeys.
"One of the greatest joys of teaching is seeing former students grow into exceptional clinicians and compassionate leaders," said Erin Cottos, PT, DTP, and Eternal Anchor's Global Health Coordinator. "Watching Treva return to Eternal Anchor is incredibly rewarding, and we're grateful to have her serving alongside us." #ClinicalEducation #PhysicalTherapist #DisabilityInclusion ... See MoreSee Less
