Eva’s Heroes, cofounded by actress Eva Longoria, is an organization dedicated to enriching the lives of individuals with intellectual special needs by providing an inclusive setting built on four tenets: interact, grow, learn, and love. Based in San Antonio, Texas, the organization helps teens and young adults with special needs to integrate and flourish in society.

“I was extremely fortunate to grow up with an intellectually disabled sister. My mother became a special education teacher because of her, and therefore, I have been involved with all facets of this community since I could walk and talk.”
