Father builds $35m theme park for daughter with special needs—it's free for people with disabilities
Editor's Note: This article was originally published on May 17, 2022. It has since been updated. Gordon Hartman was heartbroken as he watched his 12-year-old daughter unable to make friends at a swimming pool during a family vacation. His daughter Morgan is autistic and was born with cognitive and physical special needs. He started searching for an inclusive public place that would be fun for everyone. When he found no such place, he decided to build one himself. That's how he started Morgan’s Wonderland, an ultra-accessible theme park in San Antonio, Texas. The father's love for his daughter made it possible to build a place for everyone, where people with and without disabilities can come together for fun and a better understanding of one another.

Positive Impact on Food Security and Local Producers. According to San Antonio Report, San Antonio’s Chicho Boys Fruit Market has become the first store in the city to join the Double Up Food Bucks program which is a USDA-funded initiative doubling Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits for fruits and vegetables. The Double Up Food Bucks program which requires no enrollment or special requests automatically applies a 50% discount at the register when customers use their SNAP cards. Venessa Garcia has a lot to gain from this. Her latest shopping trip would have normally cost more than $70 yet she only spent slightly more than $22.
