Our Story:
The founder of Believe & Achieve is Christina Morales, the CEO of IQR Group and an autism mom raising her son, Vinny in the Vero Beach area. As a mom and business owner, Christina has grown and evolved her businesses as she recognizes needs within our community. With each stage of Vinny’s life, Christina has encountered barriers that she had to overcome in order to get Vinny what he needed most. Sometimes, that meant creating a program or business herself. Knowing how many families face financial barriers and lack of access to support services needed, the idea to create a non-profit organization to alleviate those barriers was born. Christina has learned to never place limitations on what Vinny can achieve and believes all learners in our community deserve the same.
