The Year Ahead: 2026 January 2, 2026

As we close out the year, we want to reflect on one important thing. In a year full of uncertainty, one thing remained steady: you showed up.

Because of your support, participants in IAHD’s Day Habilitation Without Walls program enjoyed monthly visits to The Metropolitan Museum of Art, more than 230 individuals practiced mindfulness through weekly yoga classes, and—through the joy of music—an IAHD choir was formed and performed its first public concert.

These moments may not make headlines, but they shape lives. They happened because our community chose to invest in our neighbors.

Our first-ever 2025 IAHD Impact Report highlights what your generosity made possible this year.

👉 Read the Impact Report and see your impact in action.

As the year comes to a close, please know this: your support helped people feel seen, supported, and hopeful about what comes next. Thank you for being part of the IAHD community.

With Gratitude,

Omayra Andino, IAHD CEO
