About We’ve Got Friends

Founded by Candi Carter, We’ve Got Friends (WGF) is a heartwarming initiative dedicated to fostering friendships among teenagers with Intellectual & Developmental Disabilities (I/DD). Recognizing the unique challenges faced by teens like her son Emerson, WGF provides a safe and joyful space for these remarkable individuals to connect, share experiences, and enjoy life’s simple pleasures. From pizza parties to dance gatherings, WGF creates opportunities for social interaction that many of these teens often miss out on.

Impact of Our Work

WGF’s programming is entirely free for participants and their families, ensuring that friendship is accessible to all, regardless of background or financial status. The joy and connection experienced during our events have transformed lives, creating lasting bonds among participants.

Why Donate?

Generous contributions from supporters like you are vital for sustaining our mission. Fundraisers enable WGF to organize more events, bringing together teens who deserve the joy of friendship without the burden of cost. Special needs families often face significant expenses for therapies and services; your donation helps bridge that gap, ensuring that every teen can enjoy the companionship they deserve.
