Bob and his wife Wendy have been serving the community together for over 20 years. Their own experience raising a son with special needs has been the motivation to facilitate solutions and help families in need.
When Bob and Wendy Minotti’s beloved son Joey passed away, they committed themselves to a mission of love in Joey’s name. They established Joey’s Gift, an effort to ensure that families with disabled children have access to the respite services necessary to keep their children close and families intact. The Minottis, drawing from their own experience of being forced to place Joey outside the home, have created a pathway of hope for other families dealing with the stress of constant caregiving. Partnering with Easterseals since 2007, and now coupled with Jon Glenn Foundation, continue to work to help make a difference for families caring for disabled children.
