Crazy hair. Full hearts. Big joy.
Today at the Friendship Club Without Barriers, our young adults showed up with wild hairstyles, bright smiles, and plenty of personality for Crazy Hairstyle Day. There was food that they prepared, games, a piñata, laughter, and the kind of fellowship that reminds us how much belonging matters.
Events like this are fun. But they are also more than fun.
For young adults with disabilities, days like today create space for friendship, confidence, creativity, communication, and community. They are a reminder that everyone deserves places where they are known, welcomed, celebrated, and free to be themselves, even if “themselves” includes hair standing three inches taller than usual.
At Eternal Anchor, inclusion looks like shared meals, silly games, real friendships, and a community where joy is not an extra. It is part of the work. #DisabilityInclusion #Belonging #Community ... See MoreSee Less

At Eternal Anchor, we believe something powerful happens when no one is left behind.
When individuals, families, communities, business leaders, and local governments come together around inclusion—walls fall, lives change, and the impossible becomes possible.

Last May, Dr. Justin Sherfey and his team from Washington State visited Eternal Anchor to provide orthopedic consultations for children throughout the San Quintin Valley. But their impact didn't end when the team went home.
During their visit, Erin Cottos, our physical therapist and coordinator of global health initiatives, received hands-on training in clubfoot casting. The team also left casting materials behind so that care could continue long after their time in Mexico.
Soon after, Erin and our Health and Therapy Services team met this young girl and her family. For seven weeks, Erin provided serial casting for her clubfoot, helping guide her foot into a better position and supporting her long-term mobility.
Recently, she and her family came to our Adaptive Equipment Workshop for a follow-up visit. And then we watched her walk independently. That moment made everyone’s day.
This is why shared learning matters. When visiting professionals come alongside local teams with humility, training, and practical support, children and families continue receiving care after the visit ends. Skills stay in the community. Follow-up becomes possible. Mobility improves. And a child takes steps toward greater independence, confidence, and participation in daily life.
At Eternal Anchor, this is the kind of partnership we believe in: care that is personal, practical, and rooted in dignity. #AdaptiveEquipment #PhysicalTherapy #DisabilityInclusion ... See MoreSee Less
