About Us
Building a Community of Support and Connection
Smiling Hearts Williams Syndrome was born out of a deeply personal journey—a journey that began with a mother learning that her son had Williams Syndrome. Like many parents in similar situations, she found herself facing a world with little guidance, minimal resources, and no established community to lean on. While there is general information about Williams Syndrome online, it often falls short in addressing the unique challenges faced by families navigating this rare condition.
Through her search for answers, she connected with other parents of children with Williams Syndrome and quickly realized she was not alone. These conversations revealed the deep need for a local, supportive network—a place where families could share experiences, find helpful resources, and simply not feel isolated.
Our Mission
Smiling Hearts exists to bridge the gap for families with children who have Williams Syndrome. We are a non-profit organization dedicated to creating a compassionate, community-driven space where families can find guidance, support, and meaningful connections. Through curated resources, advocacy efforts, and opportunities to connect with others, Smiling Hearts is here to empower parents and caregivers to meet the unique challenges of Williams Syndrome with strength and hope.
Uniting Families, Creating Community
Every family’s journey with Williams Syndrome is unique, yet they share common challenges: finding resources, feeling understood, and navigating life with limited guidance. Smiling Hearts was created to unite these families—parents, siblings, and children—into a supportive network where they can connect, share, and thrive. Through these connections, we witness their resilience, love, and strength, building a brighter future for everyone touched by Williams Syndrome.
