The Vision for Via: Two Women, One Mom and a 13-Year-Old Boy

Because school was not mandated for children with disabilities in the 1940’s, the single mother of a 13-year-old boy with cerebral palsy was forced to leave her son alone every day. She positioned his wheelchair by the window, placed his food on a nearby table and reluctantly left him there from early morning until she could return from work in the evening. Frances Anderson and Faye Braely noticed the boy sitting in the window every day. When the two women approached the mother about taking her son on weekly excursions, she welcomed their help. Climbing two flights of narrow stairs, the women would first bring down the boy’s heavy wheelchair and then climb the stairs again, carrying the boy down in a “chair” they made with their arms. They took the boy on short field trips and city excursions, expanding his horizons. The two volunteers were soon helping five people with disabilities. Generous people, businesses and organizations donated transportation, a vacant house to use. With borrowed chairs and tables, the growing group of volunteers provided lunch, entertainment and day activities at their first facility. That act of generosity led to the creation of the Crippled Children’s Society, an organization that would become Via Services, a non-profit organization that continues to grow and serve families, children and adults with special needs and disabilities in Santa Clara County. We invite you to explore our website, learn more about our people, programs and the other community resources and partners who serve people with special needs.

4 months ago… some staff came as returners, others came as first timers to Camp Via West. Yet, at the end of it, we became one big camp community 🫶🏼 None of us knew what the summer would entail, we only knew we were at camp for a reason and no matter what, we can do (and DID!) hard things when work together ⭐️

Cheers camp team, we miss ya 🥺

We love doing fun trends with our staff and campers! It’s all laughs and games, especially when they get to indulge in the silliness that is camp🙂‍↔️

The question to staff:
“What would you trade your campers for”
The question to campers:
“What would you trade your camp counselor for?” And they did NOT disappoint😂

Our take on the “Gold Star Behavior” Trend (in our opinion) 🌟
Who we are, what we do, and our presence 🫶🏼
—
Context: The “Gold Star Behavior” is a trend that people, brands, and organizations use to essentially brag about themselves! It spotlights the work, every tasks,or opinions that make them great at what they do.
