LPHS02E02: No One Left Behind: Mireya Turns Love into Purpose for Young Adults with Special Needs

October 15, 2024

On this episode of Let’s Plant Houses, I sit down with Mireya Martinez, a single mother who has navigated life’s challenges with grace, all while raising her two children—one of whom, Bianca, has autism. Mireya shares her story about how she turned her love and dedication into a powerful force, creating a community of support through her nonprofit, Just For Me. With the motto, “No young adult with special needs or disability is left behind,” Mireya’s mission is to ensure that every individual finds a place to belong. She opens up about building a space where friendships are forged, social skills are developed, and lives are transformed. Tune in for a conversation about creating community, love, and purpose.
