Big Puddle

The Big Puddle (TBP) was founded in 2023 by Maria Duerson, a parent of a child with autism. Maria is the owner of Umbrella Functional Consulting & Support Team, an adult disability service provider. Her goal was to establish a charity focused on improving services for all individuals. Umbrella, a philanthropic organization, decided that the community needs a place to get support where there isn't any. Our board was selected from members of the adult disability services community of providers, who were parents of a child with disabilities, service providers for disability services, or both. Moving forward we plan to build relationships with hospitals, MH facilities, housing groups, and service providers to integrate compliant organizations and foundations for the good of all people.
