Community DC Host Dennis Glasgow speaks with a Mom, parent and recipient of Jill's House, a Christian nonprofit organization that loves and serves families of children, adolescents, and young adults with profound intellectual disabilities through short-term, overnight respite care and holistic family support services. Regularly throughout the year, parents send their kids with intellectual disabilities to our “respite resort” in Vienna, VA, or to one of our camp locations around the country for 24-48 hour stays.
