We Transform Lives With Compassion
Welcome to Peculiar You - a faith-based organization founded in 2023 with a passion for helping and empowering youth, as well as individuals with disabilities, to find footing, purpose and lead impactful lives. The founder, Wendy Knott, is a registered nurse with over 14 years of experience, who dedicated eight to a residential treatment facility in New York, providing care to adolescents with behavioral and mental disabilities. Her vision and heart-felt commitment led her to the establishment of Peculiar You.
At Peculiar You, we believe in treating everyone as special and equal, regardless of their disability, imperfection, or socio-economic background, forming the cornerstone of our mission to create a more inclusive and compassionate community. We strive to offer specialized care, resources and advocacy to individuals with disabilities, addressing their physical, mental, emotional and spiritual well-being. Peculiar You is dedicated to empowering youth to rise above challenges, find their passions and achieve their dreams through various programs and initiatives that nurture their talents, build confidence, and instill hope for a brighter future.
We are grateful for the support of like-minded individuals and community partners who share our vision of making a positive impact in the lives of those we serve. Together we can bring about lasting change, one life at a time. Join us at Peculiar You as we continue our journey of compassion, service and faith, working to build a world where everyone is treated with dignity and every individual's potential is celebrated and nurtured. Let us walk together, guided by faith, to make a difference in our community and beyond embracing the belief that every person is a cherished and valued soul in the eyes of our creator.
