TARS & Friends
TARS & Friends is a Membership Program of TARS Awareness Texas.
​
TARS & Friends was created to ensure that no one living with a disability ever feels alone. While TARS began with a focus on Thrombocytopenia-Absent Radius (TAR) Syndrome, we recognize that families across the disability community share many of the same challenges, hopes, and victories. The “Friends” in our name reflects our commitment to inclusion — embracing individuals of all ages and abilities, along with the families, caregivers, medical professionals, and supporters who walk beside them. Together, we are a compassionate community built on understanding, advocacy, and connection, working to uplift and empower every voice and every story.
