The Advocacy and Awareness Group of Johnson County seeks to bring attention to the social injustices happening across our nation in order to promote change, starting within our local community, through a series of organized events.

Ella’s Hope for Autism began in 2010, when our daughter Ella was diagnosed with autism at the age of 2. Autism was new to us and we learned that early intervention was key to helping Ella-and us, as parents- learn a new way of life. At the time, resources were scarce and we started Ella’s Hope to raise funds and support for families and individuals that needed this early intervention.
