You're Not Alone

U’Neek & Gifted will make parents, guardians, and care givers aware that they are not alone. With GOD's guidance, our family have overcome many obstacles. Even though the birth of D’Neeko changed our life, our experiences makes being an advocate for the special needs community near and dear to our hearts. While empowering and engaging with others, we exchange and share our experiences and information in hope of support and encouragement to others.

I Am D'Neeko Thompson

Hello, my name is D'Neeko Thompson (nickname: Neeko). I was born July 23, 2003 with a chromosome 13 abnormality. Despite the many surgeries and procedures I have endured, I still have a reason SMILE! I have my family that gives me love, hope, encouragement, and support which have allowed me to be independently mobile and involved in everyday life.

I love swimming, animals, movies and enjoy visiting the aquarium. I have a passion for music and dancing. Listening to music boost my morale and is a huge part of my personality.

I am currently 17 years old. I was recently honored and awarded as a 2018 Super Star. A special thanks to Carl Ducena and Tina Chandler of 'Normal To Be Fit' who were my sponsors.
