Distroller Wərld Houston to Benefit Be An Angel
Specialty boutique welcomes children with multiple disabilities for a VIP visit During National Autism Awareness Month in April
Distroller Wərld Houston is celebrating Autism Awareness Month with nonprofit partner Be An Angel at its specialty boutique located in the Nordstrom Wing in The Galleria on April 12, 2018 from 9 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. In celebration of Be An Angel’s mission to improve the quality of life for children with multiple disabilities or profound deafness, Distroller Wərld will host 40 kids free of cost as VIPs.
The event aims to give back to the Houston community by providing a positive play experience exclusively for Be An Angel program participants who are local students of Thomas Horace Rogers School. The school serves the deaf and hard of hearing, and students with multiple impairments who range in age from three to 22.
“At Distroller Wərld we believe that all children, regardless of whether they have special needs, can live fulfilling lives by continuously providing love and support,” said Distroller CEO Daryn Fillis. “We are excited to invite these ‘angels’ to have an exclusive visit and adopt their very own Neonate Babies to love and care.”

The Neonate Babies are space babies available for adoption exclusively at Distroller Wərld Houston. The Neonate Babies come in a variety of sizes, personalities and species, and promote out-of-this-world positive family play experiences through engagement, emotion and imagination.
“We believe that children are the heart and soul of humanity, so we help children with special needs experience life at their fullest potential,” said Be An Angel Chairman Robbie Schilhab. “Our partnership with Distroller Wərld helps us carry out this vision.”
