"I always try to find different things I can do with my son, Neeko, and just knowing the love and compassion we have for him, I felt there were a bunch of other families that deal with the same thing. But they don't actually have the resources or the people to embrace them," Trae tha Truth said."I felt this was important because not only is this a day to celebrate them, but they're able to see other people with special needs.
