CEO
Stacy Williams
As founder of this organization, my initial inspiration came from my courageous grandson Jacah Jefferson, who is a Shaken Baby Syndrome Survivor. At the age of 5 months he endured unimaginable physical abuse that left him with multiple disabilities. Our lives have been full of financial, mental, and physical challenges but God continues to provide for us.
I am the mother of 2 sons, as well as the biological grandmother of 2 grandsons, and Jacah is my grandson that I was gifted. I am a newly published author of Jacah's Ladder. My love for the special needs community has expanded from Texas and reached several other states across the US. My ultimate goal is to let the nation know that Love Has No Disability.
