Tim's Big Heart Foundation

We are named after one of our co-founders: Tim Harris. Tim is a Special Olympic athlete, children's book author, speaker, and entrepreneur.

People cannot imagine futures they do not know are possibilities. We will be inspiring families to advocate for their kids, kids to engage with their peers with disabilities, businesses to think about how they can work with people with disabilities, and kids with disabilities to dream big about their future.

We will do this through tours where Tim reads his children’s book to schools and answers thoughtful questions from the audience. Tim also inspires others through corporate speaking events.

In 2023, we held our first islandwide picnics in Jamaica and Grenada. It was there that we heard that families were meeting other families who had kids with disabilities for the first time.

We also connect nonprofits doing direct service work with kids with disabilities with each other. As the old saying goes: if you want to go fast, go alone; if you want to go far, go together. We aim to connect all with an interest in this work to ensure we make lasting change.

After forging these relationships via inspiration and connection, we’ll have the trust to begin the conversations around what is missing in the community.

As we build these relationships with more communities, we’ll have learnings that can be shared. Once we identify gaps, we’ll work to wrap-around local businesses and foundations so any solution we come up with will be sustainable in the long-term.
