Thank You — The Mission Moves Forward

A Heartfelt Thank You

Our Autism Awareness Campaign Is Complete.

To every supporter who purchased a t-shirt, mug, tumbler, or tote — thank you. To everyone who shared, prayed, and stood with us through April — thank you. Our Autism Awareness Campaign has officially come to a close, and we are humbled by the love this community has poured into our mission.

You didn't just buy merchandise — you helped build a school. Every shirt worn, every mug raised, carries our students' voices a little further into the world.

If you ordered an item, it is on its way to you. Wear it proudly. You are part of this story now.

A Divine Connection

We Met Tahni Cullen — Author of Josiah's Fire.

One of the most unexpected blessings of this season: we were able to connect with Tahni Cullen, author of Josiah's Fire — the remarkable true story of her nonspeaking son Josiah, whose words on a letterboard revealed a profound inner life and faith that has touched readers around the world.

Her story is a living testimony of everything True Vine Mission Academy stands for: that nonspeaking does not mean unthinking, and that every child carries a voice worth hearing. We are grateful for her encouragement and excited about what this connection means for our work ahead.

"When the world finally listened to Josiah, what came out was wisdom, faith, and fire. Our students carry that same fire. We are building the school that will listen."

Founder Spotlight

Sunny Begins Her Practitioner Certification.

We are thrilled to share that our co-founder Sunny Talbert has traveled to Georgia to begin her certification process to become a Spellers Method Practitioner.

This is a major step forward for True Vine Mission Academy. Having a certified practitioner among our founding team means our students will be served by someone trained directly in the method that has unlocked thousands of nonspeaking voices around the world. Please keep Sunny in your prayers as she continues this important training.

Every step of this journey confirms what we already believed — that God is going before us, opening doors, and preparing the way for our students. Sunny's certification is one more answered prayer. — The True Vine Mission Team
Ongoing Campaign

Keep the Momentum — GiveButter.

Our merch campaign may have ended, but the mission continues. Our GiveButter campaign is still live and every contribution moves us closer to opening our doors in February 2027.

Your gift directly supports facilities, certified training, classroom materials, and the daily work of building a school where every student is trusted, not tested.

If you've been waiting for the right moment to give — this is it. Every dollar is a vote of belief in our students.
