A home of love and acceptance, a home for learning and growth, a home...

Crown to Serve

This last week we had the pleasure to meet a local teen that holds a pretty amazing title, American Royal Beauties 2020 National Teen!  She also holds a desire to serve her local community and stopped in with two huge bags of needed supplies for the Playhouse!  Thank you for your dedication...

The Impact of One Volunteer

You might think that the only way to make a difference in your community is to donate money.  While financial contributions are certainly welcomed and useful at GiGi’s Playhouse, volunteering can be just as helpful. Volunteering within the Playhouse can take on many forms. Some volunteers you many never see and chose to...

Q&A with Kalea

Our Youth Board continues to rock it out of the park!  Get to know a bit about Kalea with her question and answer series...  Why did you join GiGi’s Playhouse?  I joined GiGi’s Youth Board because I felt that this was a step for me to prepare for college and life. By stepping out...

A Grandparents Perspective

A little over 2 years ago, God blessed us with our 9th grandchild, Morgan Grace.  In some people’s eyes she would be considered a burden because she is a child born with Down syndrome, however she is far from that to us.  Yes, it is true Morgan had health issues...

A Home that North Central WI built…

We are living our lives differently than we would have ever expected.  Events, people, and businesses have all shifted gears, perspectives have changed, and people have come together in amazing ways without physically being together!  GiGi’s Playhouse Wausau is no different. It’s so hard to believe that by the end of the year we will be standing side-by-side, or maybe 6 feet apart with our family, friends and the rest...

Hope and a Sense of Relief

At 28-years-old, I had no idea that I had any chance of having a child with Down syndrome.  My husband and I quickly learned 8 hours after I gave birth to my son, Corbyn, that doctors and nurses had suspected a chromosome abnormality, Down syndrome to be exact.  It was...

Reflection

As the year comes an end, I reflect on the many amazing things that have happened and the relationships created. This year has been one of tremendous growth and notable achievements for GiGi’s. Fulfilling our vision for change and acceptance in North Central WI was not always a straight path...
