Our Story

True Love for Special Need Families, otherwise known as “True Love”, is a Non-profit Organization (FEIN: 82-4868718) that provides love and support to adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities.

Under the leadership of Kelly Shen along with the collective effort of other families affected by autism, they created True Love.

Our Core Values

  • We aim to bring attention to special needs individuals in the community and increase the recognition of, understanding for, and support regarding the challenges faced by these individuals—our friends—and their families.

  • We are driven to face any challenge alongside our friends and their families and grow as a community together by building and maintaining a social platform for them. At the same time, we seek to gather funds to support these families financially and emotionally.

  • Provide scholarships along with volunteering and job opportunities for people who want to help special needs children. The organization will also provide medical assistance to Chinese communities.

  • Develop a comprehensive living community for those with special needs to provide a place for them to work, socialize and live in for the rest of their lives by partnering with other organizations or companies.

  • Increase communication between Chinese autism organizations, American autism organizations, and mainstream American society.

Kelly Shen

“I have a place in my heart for all families struggling with autism since I have children dealing with autism and know how difficult it can be. I firmly believe that where there is hope, there is love. I hope that our collective love can support all of our families! I hope that True Love becomes our organization that exists for all of us!”
