Simplicity and Angelman Syndrome Foundation Unite for Family Support

In a significant move for families affected by Angelman Syndrome, Protected Tomorrows®, part of the Simplicity Group, has announced a new partnership with the Angelman Syndrome Foundation (ASF). This collaboration aims to deliver vital planning support tailored to families who care for loved ones with this rare neurogenetic disorder.

Understanding the Challenges and Support Needs

Angelman Syndrome poses unique challenges, including developmental delays, balance issues, and often a lack of speech. As a result, caregiving for individuals with this condition can be overwhelming, leaving families feeling lost and unsure about the future. Recognizing these difficulties, the ASF and Protected Tomorrows have joined forces to provide a roadmap through the complexities of care planning.

Empowering Caregivers Through Specialized Resources

The partnership will kick off in January 2026 and will feature various educational initiatives, including webinars and personalized consultations aimed specifically at families affected by Angelman Syndrome. For many caregivers, the concern of “What happens when I am no longer here?” weighs heavily. Through this partnership, families will gain access to workshops that will educate them about legal considerations, financial management, and navigating government benefits.

Mary Anne Ehlert, the founder of Protected Tomorrows and a caregiver herself, stressed the importance of having a compassionate plan in place. “True peace of mind comes from a detailed, compassionate plan that covers every stage of life,” she stated. This sentiment echoes the company’s commitment to empower caregivers, giving them clarity and confidence in their planning process.

A Long-Term Commitment to Family Support

Bruce Donaldson, a Simplicity Partner, articulated the vision behind this partnership: “We want to bring compassionate planning to as many American families as need this critical service.” By fostering a national platform that reaches all families with special needs, Protected Tomorrows and ASF aim to bring awareness and essential tools to those navigating the complexities of care.

Future Initiatives for the Community

The partnership will officially launch a series of events at the annual Angelman Syndrome Foundation conference set for July 2026. Here, families will have the opportunity to engage directly with planning experts and participate in support sessions designed to address their unique needs.

Amanda Moore, CEO of the Angelman Syndrome Foundation, remarked on the timeliness of this initiative. She underscored the pressing need for families to secure long-term planning. “This partnership provides a vital lifeline—a trusted resource that understands the specific challenges of the disability community,” Moore said.

Conclusion: Building a Supportive Community

Simplicity Group, with its commitment to holistic financial planning and family support, is proving to be a valuable ally for families facing the unique challenges presented by Angelman syndrome. Through this collaboration, they hope to not only ease the pressures faced by caregivers but also foster a community of understanding, support, and empowerment.

The future looks hopeful for those families and caregivers who will benefit from the planned resources and the ongoing dedication to compassionate planning.
