Dawn McCoy Instagram - SHOOTING FOR ‘Palm Springs LIFE’ MAGAZINE…

SO excited to be asked to shoot for this incredible publication, highlighting all the amazing things to do around the city with @shopelpaseo!! I’ve done many magazine covers and spreads for Yoga & Fitness over my 2 decade career, but today was my first high fashion editorial shoot!! And I couldn’t be MORE excited that this content will feature me as a ‘Travel & Longevity Lifestyle Expert’!!

A huge thankyou to @shopelpaseo , @desertsprings @iamdawnmccoy and so many more for helping to make this experience possible! 

🫶🏻As much as I LOVE creating and innovating the fitness & wellness space… I ALSO love putting these skills into ACTION by exploring the World, learning all about new places & helping people understand that my blueprint for ‘traveling like a local’, allows you to deeply EXPERIENCE a place through history, food, architecture, people and more!  Travel with me, and you’ll NEVER be a ‘tourist’ again!! 

So stay tuned for this spread… (coming in January), AND for updates on my dream travel show I’ve envisioned that is FINALLY in development!! YES!! All those adventures you’ve followed me on this past year abroad were each a step toward bringing my dream to life!! and those of you coming on my 2024 Retreats MAY get an extra bonus!! 🤫 

All links to my retreat are LIVE in my linktree right here in my @instagram bio!! Come fly with me!!

Dawn McCoy Instagram - Who loves French food 🥖🇫🇷 and is 4 years old today??

My pal Waylon! 

He is tougher than nails and sweeter than crème brûlée, and he lights up my — and many other people’s — life. 

That he’s here at all is both a miracle and a blessing to the world. 

Santé! to his first 4, and to many, many more!

(I just posted a birthday update on his GoFundMe. Just click the link in my bio to read it.)

Dawn McCoy Instagram - It’s Disability Pride Month.💜🌈
So proud of my miracle survivor boy & his first set of “wheels!”
Waylon got his first wheelchair in March…
And I just found this video our nanny captured of us trying it out for the first time.

I can still feel all of the emotions I was feeling when I look at my face here.
“You’re so brave!”
(I can’t believe my 4-year-old needs a wheelchair. 
Be positive, Dawn!)
“This is so neat! It’s your first set of wheels, Waylon! Wow!”
(But he shouldn’t have ever needed a wheelchair - if not for child abuse.)
“This is so cool, Waylon!”
(But he does now and we have to roll with it. Pun intended☺️)
“Let’s go!!!”

I see allllll of those emotions in this short 12-second video.
And that is how we “roll” most of the time:
Joy…
Challenge…
Big little win…
Sadness…
Change…
More Joy…
PTSD…
Excitement…
Acceptance in what is…
Hope in what may be…
Peace.
I see all of those and more when I see this pep talk to my son.

And that’s just a snapshot from March.
12 seconds in the world of disability.
The joy. The challenges. The fears. The hopes.
All of it.
Right there in a mother’s unedited face.

Dawn McCoy Instagram - A few weeks ago, I was invited to the LOVELIEST launch party, celebrating the latest @lawless beauty innovation:
Lawless Pinch-My-Cheeks blush. 
A blush that marries the best of both the cream blush and powder blush worlds, it’s super buildable and bendable and, best of all, effortless to apply.
As fun as the party was, I’ve been having my own party playing with all of these pretty hues!

Thank you to @annielawless @merrittloughran & the whole @mml_pr for a super fun event that felt more like a reunion with my OG beauty journalist and makeup artist friends…
And thank you especially from our caregivers for those GORGEOUS flowers you sent us home with. 
I may have felt like Marie Antoinette in my Ube - but I felt SO good leaving at 5 am for a work trip the next morning when I left them for Waylon’s care team to enjoy.
Paying it forward with petals is my favorite…🌸💐

p.s. A VERY special thank you to my dear friends,  @jeffreymen & @emilymen, for Waylon’s @thefancyteddy !!
We are so grateful for our new pink quartz-hearted pink, little, fancy friend!🩷🩷

Dawn McCoy Instagram - In Dallas, shooting my next Dawn’s Destinations segment for @NBCTexasToday and would be remiss if I didn’t mention one of my new favorite Palm Springs stays: @VillaRoyale_PalmSprings. 🌴 

In the heart of beautiful South Palm Springs, this adults-only boutique hotel is equal parts swanky old Hollywood escape and European bed & breakfast. 
With a rich Hollywood history - “Rebel Without A Cause” was written here - and a property flow that allows for both privacy and community mingling…this place is truly something special.

My tip? When you travel for work, try an adults-only hotel sometimes. I know when I travel, I miss my son terribly - and by staying here, I keep focused on my work and the me-time at hand…without missing my son like I often do when I hear children in the pool while staying at family-centered hotels.🖤

Dawn McCoy Instagram - As an abusive head trauma victim’s mother, there is nothing I am more passionate about than protecting children.

I want to share a video with you. 🖤 
It may look a little similar to a recent Apple ad you’ve seen which - as you know - was highly criticized.
As much attention as that Apple video received, this response video from the @HeatInitiative deserves much more attention as it’s calling on Apple to do 3 major things to protect our children.

The 3 things heat initiative is asking Apple to do is:
1) Let kids report abuse: Create easily accessible reporting in iMessage for kids and parents to report inappropriate images and harmful situations.
2) Require safer apps: Monitor the App Store to ensure exploitative and dangerous apps are unavailable to children and that only age-appropriate apps are advertised to kids.
3) Stop the spread of child sexual abuse: Stop the storage and spread of known child sexual abuse images and videos in iCloud.

Take a look...

Dawn McCoy Instagram - Happy Sunday morning from @AzureSkyHotelPS - probably the quietest, most serene hotel I’ve ever stayed in Palm Springs…and it’s adults-only. 🌴
Probably helps with that quiet and serene stuff.☺️

Looking at this picture, I see the 46-year-old I always wanted to be.
Life isn’t just how I pictured it would be, mind you…
but I am WHO I thought I would be.
A mother…
Working in the entertainment space…
Strong…
Silly…
Fun…
Fierce…
Creative…
Kind…
Advocating for children - and for those who need a little extra help…
With a career that allows me to travel - and a beautiful home to come home to…
And with long hair.
I always knew I’d have long hair well into my 40s.☺️

There’s nothing I love more than being a mom, but getting to go on short work trips that remind me I’m a woman too, is not so bad either…
Especially because I always have my little love-of-my-life to come home to.
Feeling very grateful today after a really productive-yet-intense week…and thankful for some serious stamina, hard-won work ethic & fight.🩷🧡

Dawn McCoy Instagram - I started today with an overabundance of enthusiasm, positivity, optimism, spirit and cheer.
Played our morning playlist and danced with my boy? ✅
Took donuts for the teachers? ✅
Printed Waylon’s “All About Waylon” info sheet and put them in sheet protectors to hand out to all staff. ✅
Waylon was gonna have the BEST day at school.
I was determined he would.🤗
And I think he had a really good one. I do.
But I can’t say the same.

We arrived at school and after I’d greeted his teacher, I asked where Waylon’s 1-on-1 aide was.
No one knew.
An hour goes by.
And there’s no sign of his aide that we’ve had with us since May.
Within about 3 hours, I learn that his aide has been reassigned, a new aide assigned, the agency didn’t call to tell me and that new aide called out sick today.
As I watched my son sitting alone in his wheelchair on the playground…
while all the other kids played around him, making their joyful noise…
My heart sank.
This was my fear for him in school. 
To be sitting there alone.
It was only for a bit. (His teacher and teaching assistants are GREAT🩵) but it was long enough for all sorts of PTSD, fears & futurescaping to monkey bar their way into my brain and heart.
I found myself angry at the agency who provides the aides…
I found myself angry at the new aide who called in sick too late to get us a timely substitute to care for my son…
And, most of all, I found myself LIVID at the monster who irreversibly hurt my son and damaged 50-75% of his brain.

We hosted 3 @lovingwayfoundation stays for families last week and I felt out-of-this-world joy all week long…
But today savagely reminded me where our mission comes from:
From a monster who unconscionably hurt a child and changed the trajectory of his life forever.

Tonight, I read Waylon one of our favorite books - “You’re Here For A Reason” & found myself sobbing as I read the words,

“You’re here for a reason, you certainly are.
The world would be different without you, by far.
Life works together, the good and the bad,
the silly and awful, the happy & sad,
to paint a big picture we can’t always see…
a picture that needs you, most definitely.”

It certainly does, sweet boy.
It certainly does.🩵
Dawn McCoy Instagram - With Waylon’s 2nd year of preschool starting tomorrow (and 1st full year), I wanted to share our “All About Waylon” info deck that we give to our teachers, aides, assistants, therapists and administrators on the first day.
The whole mission of this little deck is to establish a skilled & compassionate team for Waylon at school - similar to our care team we have at home - and to prepare our team to not only know how to handle any medical situation that could arise but to give the school staff confidence and patience when working with Waylon.
Because, let’s be honest, it can be intimidating, overwhelming and downright scary to work with a little boy with so many medical issues.

I stayed up all night the night before his first day of school in May putting this together and I was exhausted when I woke up, but I felt so reassured that he WOULD be properly taken care of because we were arming them with all of the tools they would need.
It made me  breathe just a little easier - and we will take any easier breath we can get.

If you’re a parent of a disabled kiddo, medically fragile kiddo and/or a kiddo with an IEP, do you do something like this? What have you found most helpful?
(FYI, I found this specific template on @etsy)

Happy back-to-school, everyone! 🚌✏️📓🖍️🏫

*lots of requests for the template - just comment SHOP below and I’ll happily send! Anything to make our lives easier!🩷

Dawn McCoy Instagram - We started @LovingWayFoundation just over 16 months ago - raising funds and awareness to be right here where we are today:
Hosting 5 Loving Way Stay respite vacations across the country for child abuse victims, their families, caregivers and advocates.
Right before our first Palm Springs family stay took flight on Tuesday, Waylon & I launched our blue & pink Loving Way heart floats into the pool at the home they’d be staying  in - @prettyinpinkps, a @wanderluxe_vacationrentals property - and it really hit me that a dream had come true for us.
A dream we never wanted…
never asked for…
and never knew to dream…
But a dream that chose us and asked us to stand at the helm of its ship of love, awareness, education, justice, vigilance, advocacy, healing and…JOY!
Just as we have found joy in the impossible, we have made it one of our missions to help others who have survived the unthinkable find THEIR joy.

If you want to experience just a smidgeon of this joy we had the honor of witnessing this week, do yourself a favor and check out our stories or watch the highlights on my profile.
Joy truly does abound - even in the face of horror & grief…
Just as light shines in the darkness because faith sees best in the dark.🩵🩷
We have SO much joy to share.🫶
What a beautiful start this is!

Dawn McCoy Instagram - Waylon and I healed - and continue to heal - after the violent crimes committed against him, thanks to our joy, adventure, travel and love fests.🩵🩷
And we LOVE that through our nonprofit, @LovingWayFoundation, we are able to pay that joy & love forward.
It’s a feeling like no other.

This was us - the morning before our Loving Way victim’s family - arrived for their Palm Springs #LovingWayStay respite getaway yesterday.
We were SO excited to welcome them!!!! (As if you can’t tell 🥹☺️)

And now 24 hours later….
As I reflect upon the family’s arrival yesterday…
The joy we witnessed & experienced far surpassed the joy we anticipated.💕
Thank you to everyone who has ever donated.
You make a difference in the lives of so many…including ours.

Dawn McCoy Instagram - Spent the perfect summer morning last week celebrating @saltair’s new launch of their Sunscreen Body Oil SPF50 with founder, supermodel, mama - and gorgeous soul - @iskra.
We became fast friends - and she is just as beautiful a person as you would hope her to be.
So much so that she surrounds herself with beautiful-souled women and I left with not only 1 new friend but 3.💕
Plus, I got to see a bevy of old friends to boot. 
Just a really perfect day.❤️

And the sunscreen oil? DIVINE!! 
It comes in two scents - Santal Bloom & Pink Beach and provides sunburn and photoaging protection while a nourishing blend of kukui and mongongo oils and vitamin C leaves skin glowing.
Thank you for hosting the ultimate girly girls’ day, @saltair @iskra & @lionviprelations.

*p.s. This dress is only $29 today! (See slide 2!)
The perfect…USA Olympic, Labor Day, July 4th, Memorial Day, Election Day look.☺️🇺🇸❤️

Dawn McCoy Instagram - Drowning is the #1 cause of death for children ages 1-4 in the United States.
Keeping our children safe is paramount in my life and in our @LovingWayFoundation mission. 
Through our involvement in the Pediatric Traumatic Brain Injury community, we have come to know some amazing drowning survivors and their families.
So when I learned about @coralsmartpool’s AI powered lifeguard for your swimming pool, I knew we had to help share the message - just in case it can help save even one life.
I appeared on @ktlaweekendam to help share the messaging of MYLO - and how it protects our families - and further our Loving Way mission of protecting our children.
88% of child drownings occur with at least 1 adult present - we need extra eyes.
I hope this helps just one family avoid a tragedy.🩵🩷

Thank you for inspiring me to start @LovingWayFoundation.
Thank you for showing up for - and STANDING UP FOR - our child abuse victims and our disabled community consistently.
Thank you for changing my course after trauma and telling me, “You were one in a million and now you’re one in a trillion. You have to use your voice and be that light” - when every single part of my being wanted to take my son and move to a farm to make applesauce after he was a victim of violence as a newborn.☺️
Thank you for caring about people - and this world we live in - SO deeply.
Thank you for fighting for the people who cannot fight for themselves.
Thank you for being a fierce cheerleader to SO many people I could never even count.

Please know that Waylon and I are YOUR cheerleaders and we can’t wait to see how you continue to lead, inspire, show compassion and effect change.
You are just one of our very favorite people and one of the best people we know.🥰🌈

Thank you for showing up for - and STANDING UP FOR - our child abuse victims and our disabled community consistently.
Thank you for changing my course after trauma and telling me, “You were one in a million and now you’re one in a trillion.

Thank you for caring about people - and this world we live in - SO deeply.
Thank you for fighting for the people who cannot fight for themselves.
Thank you for being a fierce cheerleader to SO many people I could never even count.

You are just one of our very favorite people and one of the best people we know.🥰🌈

Dawn McCoy Instagram - So happy to be in Dallas for a few days of taping @NBCTexasToday, @LovingWayFoundation work and spending time with my mama.🩷
And feeling VERY grateful for our care team at home for Waylon while work takes me away - I love hearing all of their conversations and cuddles over the monitor when I’m gone.🥰

Tomorrow, I’ll be taping a tv segment for Texas Today here in Dallas, featuring adult-only destinations and adult-friendly travel experiences, including this gorgeous destination - @AzureSkyHotelPS - an adult-only boutique hotel with 14 guest rooms. 
Located in the heart of Palm Springs, the property was built in 1959 and has maintained its midcentury modern soul even after updating with modern comforts and luxuries.
I can’t wait to get back!
And I can’t wait to share all 6 of the fabulous properties with you all - I’ve gathered some good ones…and some of my favorites!

Dawn McCoy Instagram - Yesterday was a gold star day for Waylon.⭐️
Our first time at an accessible playground for disabled kiddos like Waylon was a huge, HAPPY success!
His face - and my wonky hat - here says it all.😂
We went to Aidan’s Place on Sepulveda and it was so fun - and honestly, emotional - to get to FULLY experience a playground for once.
A glider that welcomes wheelchairs and strollers…
Adaptive swings with harnesses that are large enough so I can hold Waylon & swing…
A slide that has higher sides that is also big enough so adults can accompany a disabled child…
A sailboat that welcomes strollers/wheelchairs…
A sensory tunnel with CVI-friendly lights for blind kiddos like Way…
And more.
Playgrounds can be hard for us sometimes.
Waylon hears the fun-loving voices of kids - which he LOVES.
But…
He can’t play with them - or even play like them.
So what should be a happy place can be hard because it reminds us of his limitations caused by child abuse.

But not this time.
NOT THIS TIME.
We glided…
And slid…
And swung…
And squealed…
And met new friends (cute girls, of course - heyyy, Lillian and Emmett 🥰)…
And it was just a really, really great day for Waylon, Uncle Cheese @heychrisrichards and I.
We can’t wait to go back - and we can’t wait to explore more accessible playgrounds and parks.
Got a favorite one?
Comment below and let me know.
This is just the beginning for my little daredevil.🙌🏼
Dawn McCoy Instagram - What does Waylon wish for, the “All About Me” homework assignment asked?
The question gutted me.
And the speed with which I answered it broke my heart wide open, leaving me in tears.
It would be this:
He would wish to be able to talk, play and communicate with his friends at school and his family & therapists at home.
He would wish for that.
He would also wish to be able to communicate his needs and wishes and pains and discomforts - because not being able to talk and express these when you need to be able to do so is almost as crippling as his disabilities and developmental delays caused by abusive head trauma.

Look.
I think overall Waylon is very, VERY happy.
He is happier than any 4-year-old I’ve ever met before.🥰
And a lot of that - as therapists and those closest to us tell me - is because he is bathed in a constant love bubble by me and his amazing support system.
This boy is loved BIG TIME. All the time. 
And has never heard anger - or faced fear - in his home since he was hurt.

But there’s no getting past the fact that he can’t talk.
That he can’t do what the other kids can do.
And that he can’t express his needs.
And for that?
No grace…
No holding back…
No sugar coating….
I look forward to prison being a very cold place for the monster who made this his reality.
And I pray that our justice system, upcoming life count criminal trial - and the prison that will cage him - show that monster the same mercy that he showed Waylon when he was a newborn:
NONE.

Dawn McCoy Instagram - Grief is a really strange bedfellow.
It’s CRAZY how grief works.💔
Or… “how a blind, disabled preschooler’s homework assignment unleashed some raw grief today for his mom.”🩵💁🏻‍♀️🩷
Dawn McCoy Instagram - Moments like these are what @LovingWayFoundation is all about.🩵🩷
After years of fighting for a 2-year-old abusive head trauma victim who was beaten by his stepmother…
On the night before the sentencing of the abuser who so callously caused the brain damage and paralysis in this tiny child…
We had the joy of telling the Child Abuse Prosecutor, @beth__elbc, who had fought SO hard for justice and WON…
that we would be gifting the now 7-year-old victim and his family with their dream trip to Disneyland.🤗🎁

Thank you, Lisa, @academytravel & @thekingdominsider for making this possible. You are a real-life fairy godmother.✨
And, thank you, Orange County Child Abuse Prosecutor, Bethel Cope-Vega for ALWAYS fighting for our children and for consistently standing up against the monsters who hurt them.
You are a true hero.🩵🩷

Dawn McCoy Instagram - This is what a Loving Way Stay looks like.🩵🩷🎉
Favorite new toys waiting on the kids’ beds…
A fully stocked fridge with the family’s favorite snacks & treats…
And curated special surprises scattered throughout the home/hotel to make them feel EXTRA welcomed.
When we started @LovingWayFoundation, we knew that our Loving Way stays - soothing, healing respite getaways for victims of child abuse and families - would be a BIG part of it.
But we didn’t know just HOW big they would be.🫶

Hosting our first stay at @PrettyInPinkPS in Palm Springs with the phenomenal Anderson family - and their tiny survivor, Levi (pictured here in the helmet) - showed us the power of what these trips can do.
Their joy and excitement and relaxation and FUN (🎉!!) surpassed any and all expectations we had!
Mostly because they’re just an inspiring survivor-warrior family…but also because their joy felt like ours.☺️
Then was the moment we welcomed them into the home - and it’s a shared feeling of utter joy I will always cherish.🥰

Waylon & I know it firsthand - that a vacation where victims are welcomed, taken care of and pampered - doesn’t only create core memories…but renews spirits that can feel broken, defeated, downtrodden, weak and weathered.
My work in the travel and television space has allowed us the warmth and comfort of hosted trips just like that.
So we wanted to pay it forward and give our fellow victims’ families that same level of comfort and warmth that we’ve experienced over these past few years.

We now have a short waitlist for our Loving Way Stays and my heart couldn’t be more full that our foundation is finding those in need of them…but we need more support to get these families healing.

Thank you @prettyinpinkps & @wanderluxe_vacationrentals for hosting our first Palm Springs #LovingWayStay.
It’s one we will never, NEVER forget.

Please donate what you can at www.LovingWayFoundation.org/Donate to help keep our Loving Way Stays and child abuse prevention going strong.
And if you have a vacation home, hotel, resort, vacation destination that you’d like to talk us about for possible collaboration, or airline miles you’d like to donate, please reach out to me directly.
Dawn McCoy Instagram - Thank you @GoodCarmaStudio - and our gorgeous hosts, @JessicaHall & @AngeliqueCabral - for hosting an EPIC back-to-school gifting & fun event…all while shining a light on @LovingWayFoundation and child abuse prevention and victim support.
We are so grateful to y’all - and all of the brand partners and guests.
Your events always feel like family reunions…and I just love that.🥰

If you’d like to donate or learn more about @LovingWayFoundation - or host an event to shine a light on our child abuse prevention and awareness mission which supports child abuse victims and our families, please visit @LovingWayFoundation / www.LovingWayFoundation.org.

Dawn McCoy Instagram - 2-year-old Levi Anderson was hurt by someone he and his family should have been able to trust.

Hosting our first stay at @PrettyInPinkPS in Palm Springs with tiny survivor, Levi, was one of our top-5 life moments.
Their joy and excitement and relaxation and FUN (🎉!!) surpassed any and all expectations we had of our @LovingWayFoundation respite stays.
Mostly because the Anderson family is just an inspiring survivor-warrior family (Dad is a fighter pilot, even)…and their joy felt like ours.☺️
I will always cherish this moment of welcoming them into their home for the week.🥰

My tiny abuse survivor, Waylon & I know it firsthand - that a vacation where victims are welcomed, taken care of, pampered and loved on - doesn’t only create core memories…but renews spirits that can feel broken, defeated, downtrodden, weak and weathered.
My work in the travel and television space has allowed us the warmth and comfort of hosted trips just like that.
So we wanted to pay it forward and give our fellow victims’ families that same level of comfort and warmth that we’ve experienced over these past few years.

Help us help our abuse survivors and their families find joy by donating to LovingWayFoundation.org/Donate.
Today only - a private donor is matching dollar-for-dollar donations up to $10,000.
$10,000 funds 2 Loving Way Stays for our victims and their families.

Thank you @prettyinpinkps & @wanderluxe_vacationrentals for hosting our first Palm Springs #LovingWayStay.
And thank you @joycekiehl & @visitgreaterps for helping us find SO many fun activities for them during their stay.
They made beautiful core memories that will never, NEVER be forgotten.
And so did we.🫶

Dawn McCoy Instagram - I am feeling so grateful for all of you this holiday season and for your ongoing support of @LovingWayFoundation. 
2024 was a BIG year for Loving Way thanks to our donors, partners, and sponsors! Thank you.🩵🩷

As we approach the new year and the long-awaited start of our trial, I am deeply mindful of the harsh reality that so many survivors of child abuse never see their cases reach trial or experience the justice they deserve. 
Looking ahead to 2025, Loving Way Foundation remains hopeful and determined to expand our reach and amplify our impact—bringing renewed hope, healing, and joy to families just like us who have endured the unimaginable -  impact that is fueled by your generous financial support.

A very special note of gratitude for our private donor who is offering a dollar-for-dollar match up to $10,000 until 12/31/24.  

Wishing you all a beautiful holiday season filled with love, joy, justice and wonder….and some miracles in there too, perhaps.🫶

Dawn McCoy Instagram - A week from today will mark 5 years since it was discovered that my weeks-old godson, Waylon, was being abused by someone he should have been able to trust. Out of his and his mom’s immense pain eventually came a shared vision to help fellow child abuse victims, their families and caregivers in the way they’ve needed support during their long recovery from devastating tragedy. 
It’s called @lovingwayfoundation .

Loving Way’s mission is simple: Offer families opportunities for respite, healing and joy; provide them with resources to help them navigate the often confounding legal, medical and social services systems; raise awareness of the scourge that is child abuse; and strengthen laws and penalties for those who prey upon our most vulnerable.

I’m honored to serve on Loving Way’s board, and was witness to much of the remarkable things that Dawn & Waylon and Loving Way accomplished this year. Here are just a few highlights:

🩵 We hosted 5 Loving Way Stays for child abuse victims and their families & caregivers, coordinating all-expenses-paid respite vacations in Palm Springs, Austin, Oceanside, and Anaheim

🩵 We produced and hosted 7 advocacy events, reaching more than 5,000 people in person, and hundreds of thousands more online

🩵 We took on 11 one-on-one advising and mentorship cases, helping victims & their families navigate the dizzying criminal justice, social services and medical systems

🩵 Founder Dawn made 5 public speaking appearances, contributed to 2 child abuse prevention conferences and supported 6 criminal court cases with child abuse or murder charges at their center

🩵 And Dawn appeared on 6 television news shows speaking about Loving Way’s mission, child abuse prevention and child safety

How about that?!? ⚡️⚡️⚡️

Dawn and Waylon and their big-hearted Loving Way team are heading into 2025 with plans to make an even bigger impact on this largely unseen and underserved community.

If you’re looking to make a charitable donation by year’s end, we’d love to have you join in our fight against child abuse.

Dawn McCoy Instagram - And to all a good night.🎄❤️

📍: The Santa Suite at @omnidallas 🎅🏼
Dawn McCoy Instagram - Merry Christmas to all!!🎄
This year, newly aged 5-year-old Waylon seems more aware of the spirit of Christmas and Santa.🎅🏼
I remember after our first Christmas morning - spent alone, Waylon & me, in Los Angeles in 2020 after the trauma - I called @heychrisrichards crying in a ball on the floor while Waylon napped after we had “opened gifts.”
“He can’t open the presents, Chris.
He can’t touch the presents.
He can’t feel the presents.
He can’t even SEE the presents.
This is not the Christmas I imagined for my son.
Does he even know what Christmas is?”

Chris said something that day that is always with me every Christmas - no matter what life brings our way:
“Waylon knows it’s Christmas because of your Christmas spirit. You make it so special for him with the music and the tastes and the dancing and the snuggles that he can FEEL Christmas without seeing a thing, Dawn. He knows it’s Christmas because of how you feel - and how you make him feel.”

That. That’s what I needed to hear to…
Keep the traditions going…
Keep celebrating…
Keep trying…
All for my son.
Sure, it takes a little imagination and belief in magic.
But…
Isn’t that really what Christmas is all about?
From the very beginning, it’s been about believing in the unseen and having faith in the seemingly impossible.
Christmas forever.
Love, The McCoys & Loving Way Foundation ❤️🫶

Dawn McCoy Instagram - That light is shining down on Mayor @JohnEricksonWH for a reason. ✨ 
We were so honored to attend Mayor Erickson’s swearing in for West Hollywood City Council for his 2nd term last night before we boarded an early plane to Texas this morning.
We planned our flight around it, actually.

4 out of 5 West Hollywood residents voted and the choice was resoundingly clear: They wanted John.
But perhaps John’s biggest endorsement came from right here: Waylon.🩵
John serves on our @LovingWayFoundation board and is a fierce advocate for - and friend to - our disabled community and child abuse victims.
He has supported programming for 4 events in West Hollywood to bring awareness to both the pervasive problem of child abuse and continuing issues around foster care.
I don’t know many other leaders who can say that.🙌🏼

Thank you, John, for supporting our children and for taking a strong stand against child abuse.
We couldn’t be happier that you’ll serve another 4 years - and we are SO proud to call you our dear friend.🫶
Dawn McCoy Instagram - Who needs holiday magic when you’ve got @LargoLosAngeles magic with @NedBrower @SarahJaneMorrisTheActress and the newly beard-free smiles, music & musings of @MarcMaron?
Great show, fellas. GREAT show.
And, happy birthday weekend, Ned!
Dawn McCoy Instagram - Tomorrow, it will have been five years since my newborn son was almost killed by a living, breathing monster.
A monster disguised as a human he should’ve been able to trust.
Next month, we go to trial at last to hold that monster accountable for crimes too heinous for most humans to even fathom.

As we head into this new year, I ask you to please keep Waylon - and justice for him - at the forefront of your prayers and energy.
Pray for the jury serving on a case that will challenge their hearts and faith in men…
Pray for our District Attorney to present a powerful case…
Mindfully pray for a judge who has compassion for victims and their indelible rights…
Pray for privacy and space for our family as we navigate this challenging time and begin our healing journey with this long-awaited life count trial, verdict and sentencing.

But also hold fast to the fact that this trial is just the beginning of a new journey for us.
And when the monster is held accountable for his actions to the fullest extent of the law, I will be there for every single parole hearing that follows.
Because my job after this initial act of justice is to make sure that the monster stays caged where he belongs for life - and that he is never, NEVER released into a naive, trusting society ever again.

Tomorrow, we celebrate Waylon - and the miracle that he survived a monster who wished not only to do him harm - but for his total demise.
But today, I grieve and mourn and vent…
And I am ANGRY.
And I look forward to creating legislation that supports our most vulnerable victims rather than the convicted offenders who made them such.

Now, we prepare to fight the most important battle of our lives.
And it IS a battle of good vs. evil.
Monsters vs. angels.
And since our angelic Waylon can’t fight or use HIS voice, I fight and use MY voice for him.
His silence makes me even louder.
Are you ready to be loud with me?

Dawn McCoy Instagram - I have just a few Palm Springs “musts” when friends visit and ask me for recommendations - and @BarCecil is at the top of the list.
As I head out to Palm Springs today for a weekend of @Modernism_Week design, architecture and vintage glam, I had to share our most recent Bar Cecil dining experience.
We started with Cecil’s bread rolls with local date   save butter…
And then kept things fresh with the Girl & Dug Farm Salad with local citrus and a DIVINE Peach Vinaigrette.
Then we graduated to the Steaks   Frites - an 8 oz. Flat Iron with cafe cut fries, bearnaise and cafe de paris butter - and the Cacio E Pepe, which is indulgently tantalizing.
And, naturally, we ended with the best pavlova on the planet - their signature Aniston’s pavlova that I crave upon seeing the windmills.
A little slice of heaven - whether dine at a table in civilized style or dine at the bar which I always opt for.

Dawn McCoy Instagram - Happy Valentine’s Day from Waylon - 
My magical, blind, nonverbal, nonambulatory 
5-year-old abusive head trauma survivor son who loves wind in his hair…
And Kool & The Gang.
We hope your day is filled with as much glee as he experiences on a simple ride to school in the morning.🩷

A huge thankyou to @shopelpaseo , @desertsprings @iamdawnmccoy and so many more for helping to make this experience possible! 🫶🏻As much as I LOVE creating and innovating the fitness & wellness space… I ALSO love putting these skills into ACTION by exploring the World, learning all about new places & helping people understand that my blueprint for ‘traveling like a local’, allows you to deeply EXPERIENCE a place through history, food, architecture, people and more! Travel with me, and you’ll NEVER be a ‘tourist’ again!! So stay tuned for this spread… (coming in January), AND for updates on my dream travel show I’ve envisioned that is FINALLY in development!!

Dawn McCoy - 190 Likes - Who loves French food 🥖🇫🇷 and is 4 years old today??

My pal Waylon! 

He is tougher than nails and sweeter than crème brûlée, and he lights up my — and many other people’s — life. 

That he’s here at all is both a miracle and a blessing to the world. 

Santé! to his first 4, and to many, many more!

(I just posted a birthday update on his GoFundMe. Just click the link in my bio to read it.)

Dawn McCoy - 3 Likes - It’s Disability Pride Month.💜🌈
So proud of my miracle survivor boy & his first set of “wheels!”
Waylon got his first wheelchair in March…
And I just found this video our nanny captured of us trying it out for the first time.

I can still feel all of the emotions I was feeling when I look at my face here.
“You’re so brave!”
(I can’t believe my 4-year-old needs a wheelchair. 
Be positive, Dawn!)
“This is so neat! It’s your first set of wheels, Waylon! Wow!”
(But he shouldn’t have ever needed a wheelchair - if not for child abuse.)
“This is so cool, Waylon!”
(But he does now and we have to roll with it. Pun intended☺️)
“Let’s go!!!”

I see allllll of those emotions in this short 12-second video.
And that is how we “roll” most of the time:
Joy…
Challenge…
Big little win…
Sadness…
Change…
More Joy…
PTSD…
Excitement…
Acceptance in what is…
Hope in what may be…
Peace.
I see all of those and more when I see this pep talk to my son.

And that’s just a snapshot from March.
12 seconds in the world of disability.
The joy. The challenges. The fears. The hopes.
All of it.
Right there in a mother’s unedited face.

Dawn McCoy - 3 Likes - A few weeks ago, I was invited to the LOVELIEST launch party, celebrating the latest @lawless beauty innovation:
Lawless Pinch-My-Cheeks blush. 
A blush that marries the best of both the cream blush and powder blush worlds, it’s super buildable and bendable and, best of all, effortless to apply.
As fun as the party was, I’ve been having my own party playing with all of these pretty hues!

Thank you to @annielawless @merrittloughran & the whole @mml_pr for a super fun event that felt more like a reunion with my OG beauty journalist and makeup artist friends…
And thank you especially from our caregivers for those GORGEOUS flowers you sent us home with. 
I may have felt like Marie Antoinette in my Ube - but I felt SO good leaving at 5 am for a work trip the next morning when I left them for Waylon’s care team to enjoy.
Paying it forward with petals is my favorite…🌸💐

p.s. A VERY special thank you to my dear friends,  @jeffreymen & @emilymen, for Waylon’s @thefancyteddy !!
We are so grateful for our new pink quartz-hearted pink, little, fancy friend!🩷🩷

A blush that marries the best of both the cream blush and powder blush worlds, it’s super buildable and bendable and, best of all, effortless to apply. As fun as the party was, I’ve been having my own party playing with all of these pretty hues! Thank you to @annielawless @merrittloughran & the whole @mml_pr for a super fun event that felt more like a reunion with my OG beauty journalist and makeup artist friends… And thank you especially from our caregivers for those GORGEOUS flowers you sent us home with. I may have felt like Marie Antoinette in my Ube – but I felt SO good leaving at 5 am for a work trip the next morning when I left them for Waylon’s care team to enjoy. Paying it forward with petals is my favorite…🌸💐 p.s. A VERY special thank you to my dear friends, @jeffreymen & @emilymen, for Waylon’s @thefancyteddy !! We are so grateful for our new pink quartz-hearted pink, little, fancy friend!🩷🩷 Comment SHOP below to receive a DM with the link to shop the blush & my dress in this post on my LTK ⬇ https://liketk.it/4K20A #ltkbeauty #ltksummersales #ltkseasonal

Dawn McCoy - 3 Likes - In Dallas, shooting my next Dawn’s Destinations segment for @NBCTexasToday and would be remiss if I didn’t mention one of my new favorite Palm Springs stays: @VillaRoyale_PalmSprings. 🌴 

In the heart of beautiful South Palm Springs, this adults-only boutique hotel is equal parts swanky old Hollywood escape and European bed & breakfast. 
With a rich Hollywood history - “Rebel Without A Cause” was written here - and a property flow that allows for both privacy and community mingling…this place is truly something special.

My tip? When you travel for work, try an adults-only hotel sometimes. I know when I travel, I miss my son terribly - and by staying here, I keep focused on my work and the me-time at hand…without missing my son like I often do when I hear children in the pool while staying at family-centered hotels.🖤

I know when I travel, I miss my son terribly – and by staying here, I keep focused on my work and the me-time at hand…without missing my son like I often do when I hear children in the pool while staying at family-centered hotels.🖤 Comment SHOP below to receive a DM with the link to shop this post on my LTK ⬇ https://liketk.it/4JLGL Koa gold sequined dress: @trinaturk at @thegardensonelpaseo Shoes: @anntaylor Geo High Block Sandals 📷: @andrewcabral_photography

Dawn McCoy - 3 Likes - As an abusive head trauma victim’s mother, there is nothing I am more passionate about than protecting children.

I want to share a video with you. 🖤 
It may look a little similar to a recent Apple ad you’ve seen which - as you know - was highly criticized.
As much attention as that Apple video received, this response video from the @HeatInitiative deserves much more attention as it’s calling on Apple to do 3 major things to protect our children.

The 3 things heat initiative is asking Apple to do is:
1) Let kids report abuse: Create easily accessible reporting in iMessage for kids and parents to report inappropriate images and harmful situations.
2) Require safer apps: Monitor the App Store to ensure exploitative and dangerous apps are unavailable to children and that only age-appropriate apps are advertised to kids.
3) Stop the spread of child sexual abuse: Stop the storage and spread of known child sexual abuse images and videos in iCloud.

Take a look...

Dawn McCoy - 3 Likes - Happy Sunday morning from @AzureSkyHotelPS - probably the quietest, most serene hotel I’ve ever stayed in Palm Springs…and it’s adults-only. 🌴
Probably helps with that quiet and serene stuff.☺️

Looking at this picture, I see the 46-year-old I always wanted to be.
Life isn’t just how I pictured it would be, mind you…
but I am WHO I thought I would be.
A mother…
Working in the entertainment space…
Strong…
Silly…
Fun…
Fierce…
Creative…
Kind…
Advocating for children - and for those who need a little extra help…
With a career that allows me to travel - and a beautiful home to come home to…
And with long hair.
I always knew I’d have long hair well into my 40s.☺️

There’s nothing I love more than being a mom, but getting to go on short work trips that remind me I’m a woman too, is not so bad either…
Especially because I always have my little love-of-my-life to come home to.
Feeling very grateful today after a really productive-yet-intense week…and thankful for some serious stamina, hard-won work ethic & fight.🩷🧡

Dawn McCoy - 3 Likes - I started today with an overabundance of enthusiasm, positivity, optimism, spirit and cheer.
Played our morning playlist and danced with my boy? ✅
Took donuts for the teachers? ✅
Printed Waylon’s “All About Waylon” info sheet and put them in sheet protectors to hand out to all staff. ✅
Waylon was gonna have the BEST day at school.
I was determined he would.🤗
And I think he had a really good one. I do.
But I can’t say the same.

We arrived at school and after I’d greeted his teacher, I asked where Waylon’s 1-on-1 aide was.
No one knew.
An hour goes by.
And there’s no sign of his aide that we’ve had with us since May.
Within about 3 hours, I learn that his aide has been reassigned, a new aide assigned, the agency didn’t call to tell me and that new aide called out sick today.
As I watched my son sitting alone in his wheelchair on the playground…
while all the other kids played around him, making their joyful noise…
My heart sank.
This was my fear for him in school. 
To be sitting there alone.
It was only for a bit. (His teacher and teaching assistants are GREAT🩵) but it was long enough for all sorts of PTSD, fears & futurescaping to monkey bar their way into my brain and heart.
I found myself angry at the agency who provides the aides…
I found myself angry at the new aide who called in sick too late to get us a timely substitute to care for my son…
And, most of all, I found myself LIVID at the monster who irreversibly hurt my son and damaged 50-75% of his brain.

We hosted 3 @lovingwayfoundation stays for families last week and I felt out-of-this-world joy all week long…
But today savagely reminded me where our mission comes from:
From a monster who unconscionably hurt a child and changed the trajectory of his life forever.

Tonight, I read Waylon one of our favorite books - “You’re Here For A Reason” & found myself sobbing as I read the words,

“You’re here for a reason, you certainly are.
The world would be different without you, by far.
Life works together, the good and the bad,
the silly and awful, the happy & sad,
to paint a big picture we can’t always see…
a picture that needs you, most definitely.”

It certainly does, sweet boy.
It certainly does.🩵

Dawn McCoy - 3 Likes - With Waylon’s 2nd year of preschool starting tomorrow (and 1st full year), I wanted to share our “All About Waylon” info deck that we give to our teachers, aides, assistants, therapists and administrators on the first day.
The whole mission of this little deck is to establish a skilled & compassionate team for Waylon at school - similar to our care team we have at home - and to prepare our team to not only know how to handle any medical situation that could arise but to give the school staff confidence and patience when working with Waylon.
Because, let’s be honest, it can be intimidating, overwhelming and downright scary to work with a little boy with so many medical issues.

I stayed up all night the night before his first day of school in May putting this together and I was exhausted when I woke up, but I felt so reassured that he WOULD be properly taken care of because we were arming them with all of the tools they would need.
It made me  breathe just a little easier - and we will take any easier breath we can get.

If you’re a parent of a disabled kiddo, medically fragile kiddo and/or a kiddo with an IEP, do you do something like this? What have you found most helpful?
(FYI, I found this specific template on @etsy)

Happy back-to-school, everyone! 🚌✏️📓🖍️🏫

*lots of requests for the template - just comment SHOP below and I’ll happily send! Anything to make our lives easier!🩷

Dawn McCoy - 3 Likes - We started @LovingWayFoundation just over 16 months ago - raising funds and awareness to be right here where we are today:
Hosting 5 Loving Way Stay respite vacations across the country for child abuse victims, their families, caregivers and advocates.
Right before our first Palm Springs family stay took flight on Tuesday, Waylon & I launched our blue & pink Loving Way heart floats into the pool at the home they’d be staying  in - @prettyinpinkps, a @wanderluxe_vacationrentals property - and it really hit me that a dream had come true for us.
A dream we never wanted…
never asked for…
and never knew to dream…
But a dream that chose us and asked us to stand at the helm of its ship of love, awareness, education, justice, vigilance, advocacy, healing and…JOY!
Just as we have found joy in the impossible, we have made it one of our missions to help others who have survived the unthinkable find THEIR joy.

If you want to experience just a smidgeon of this joy we had the honor of witnessing this week, do yourself a favor and check out our stories or watch the highlights on my profile.
Joy truly does abound - even in the face of horror & grief…
Just as light shines in the darkness because faith sees best in the dark.🩵🩷
We have SO much joy to share.🫶
What a beautiful start this is!

And we LOVE that through our nonprofit, @LovingWayFoundation, we are able to pay that joy & love forward.
It’s a feeling like no other.

This was us - the morning before our Loving Way victim’s family - arrived for their Palm Springs #LovingWayStay respite getaway yesterday.
We were SO excited to welcome them!!!! (As if you can’t tell 🥹☺️)

And now 24 hours later….
As I reflect upon the family’s arrival yesterday…
The joy we witnessed & experienced far surpassed the joy we anticipated.💕
Thank you to everyone who has ever donated.
You make a difference in the lives of so many…including ours.

Dawn McCoy - 3 Likes - Spent the perfect summer morning last week celebrating @saltair’s new launch of their Sunscreen Body Oil SPF50 with founder, supermodel, mama - and gorgeous soul - @iskra.
We became fast friends - and she is just as beautiful a person as you would hope her to be.
So much so that she surrounds herself with beautiful-souled women and I left with not only 1 new friend but 3.💕
Plus, I got to see a bevy of old friends to boot. 
Just a really perfect day.❤️

And the sunscreen oil? DIVINE!! 
It comes in two scents - Santal Bloom & Pink Beach and provides sunburn and photoaging protection while a nourishing blend of kukui and mongongo oils and vitamin C leaves skin glowing.
Thank you for hosting the ultimate girly girls’ day, @saltair @iskra & @lionviprelations.

*p.s. This dress is only $29 today! (See slide 2!)
The perfect…USA Olympic, Labor Day, July 4th, Memorial Day, Election Day look.☺️🇺🇸❤️

Dawn McCoy - 3 Likes - Drowning is the #1 cause of death for children ages 1-4 in the United States.
Keeping our children safe is paramount in my life and in our @LovingWayFoundation mission. 
Through our involvement in the Pediatric Traumatic Brain Injury community, we have come to know some amazing drowning survivors and their families.
So when I learned about @coralsmartpool’s AI powered lifeguard for your swimming pool, I knew we had to help share the message - just in case it can help save even one life.
I appeared on @ktlaweekendam to help share the messaging of MYLO - and how it protects our families - and further our Loving Way mission of protecting our children.
88% of child drownings occur with at least 1 adult present - we need extra eyes.
I hope this helps just one family avoid a tragedy.🩵🩷

Dawn McCoy - 3 Likes - NBC Texas Today shared our @LovingWayFoundation mission a few weeks ago. It’s our first television segment and it’s such a beautiful - and thoughtful - piece that it made me cry. 
Please watch so you can learn a little more about what we do and then please feel free to share as our mission is completely dependent upon community activation and generosity.
Thank you @kristindickersontv for this heartfelt interview and thank you to our @nbctexastoday family - executive producer @jessica_grose whose incredible vision this was - and to @everr_huerta @graysonbcagle the whole crew for this powerful segment.
We are so honored. 🫶
Thank you for seeing us - and, more importantly, thank you for seeing our Loving Way children and families.🩵🩷

*Also, we love seeing so many of our friends, board members and event attendees in this! Warms our hearts! To much more purpose-fueled-fun events!

Thank you for inspiring me to start @LovingWayFoundation.
Thank you for showing up for - and STANDING UP FOR - our child abuse victims and our disabled community consistently.
Thank you for changing my course after trauma and telling me, “You were one in a million and now you’re one in a trillion. You have to use your voice and be that light” - when every single part of my being wanted to take my son and move to a farm to make applesauce after he was a victim of violence as a newborn.☺️
Thank you for caring about people - and this world we live in - SO deeply.
Thank you for fighting for the people who cannot fight for themselves.
Thank you for being a fierce cheerleader to SO many people I could never even count.

Please know that Waylon and I are YOUR cheerleaders and we can’t wait to see how you continue to lead, inspire, show compassion and effect change.
You are just one of our very favorite people and one of the best people we know.🥰🌈

Dawn McCoy - 3 Likes - So happy to be in Dallas for a few days of taping @NBCTexasToday, @LovingWayFoundation work and spending time with my mama.🩷
And feeling VERY grateful for our care team at home for Waylon while work takes me away - I love hearing all of their conversations and cuddles over the monitor when I’m gone.🥰

Tomorrow, I’ll be taping a tv segment for Texas Today here in Dallas, featuring adult-only destinations and adult-friendly travel experiences, including this gorgeous destination - @AzureSkyHotelPS - an adult-only boutique hotel with 14 guest rooms. 
Located in the heart of Palm Springs, the property was built in 1959 and has maintained its midcentury modern soul even after updating with modern comforts and luxuries.
I can’t wait to get back!
And I can’t wait to share all 6 of the fabulous properties with you all - I’ve gathered some good ones…and some of my favorites!

Dawn McCoy - 3 Likes - Yesterday was a gold star day for Waylon.⭐️
Our first time at an accessible playground for disabled kiddos like Waylon was a huge, HAPPY success!
His face - and my wonky hat - here says it all.😂
We went to Aidan’s Place on Sepulveda and it was so fun - and honestly, emotional - to get to FULLY experience a playground for once.
A glider that welcomes wheelchairs and strollers…
Adaptive swings with harnesses that are large enough so I can hold Waylon & swing…
A slide that has higher sides that is also big enough so adults can accompany a disabled child…
A sailboat that welcomes strollers/wheelchairs…
A sensory tunnel with CVI-friendly lights for blind kiddos like Way…
And more.
Playgrounds can be hard for us sometimes.
Waylon hears the fun-loving voices of kids - which he LOVES.
But…
He can’t play with them - or even play like them.
So what should be a happy place can be hard because it reminds us of his limitations caused by child abuse.

But not this time.
NOT THIS TIME.
We glided…
And slid…
And swung…
And squealed…
And met new friends (cute girls, of course - heyyy, Lillian and Emmett 🥰)…
And it was just a really, really great day for Waylon, Uncle Cheese @heychrisrichards and I.
We can’t wait to go back - and we can’t wait to explore more accessible playgrounds and parks.
Got a favorite one?
Comment below and let me know.
This is just the beginning for my little daredevil.🙌🏼

Dawn McCoy - 3 Likes - What does Waylon wish for, the “All About Me” homework assignment asked?
The question gutted me.
And the speed with which I answered it broke my heart wide open, leaving me in tears.
It would be this:
He would wish to be able to talk, play and communicate with his friends at school and his family & therapists at home.
He would wish for that.
He would also wish to be able to communicate his needs and wishes and pains and discomforts - because not being able to talk and express these when you need to be able to do so is almost as crippling as his disabilities and developmental delays caused by abusive head trauma.

Look.
I think overall Waylon is very, VERY happy.
He is happier than any 4-year-old I’ve ever met before.🥰
And a lot of that - as therapists and those closest to us tell me - is because he is bathed in a constant love bubble by me and his amazing support system.
This boy is loved BIG TIME. All the time. 
And has never heard anger - or faced fear - in his home since he was hurt.

But there’s no getting past the fact that he can’t talk.
That he can’t do what the other kids can do.
And that he can’t express his needs.
And for that?
No grace…
No holding back…
No sugar coating….
I look forward to prison being a very cold place for the monster who made this his reality.
And I pray that our justice system, upcoming life count criminal trial - and the prison that will cage him - show that monster the same mercy that he showed Waylon when he was a newborn:
NONE.

Dawn McCoy - 3 Likes - Moments like these are what @LovingWayFoundation is all about.🩵🩷
After years of fighting for a 2-year-old abusive head trauma victim who was beaten by his stepmother…
On the night before the sentencing of the abuser who so callously caused the brain damage and paralysis in this tiny child…
We had the joy of telling the Child Abuse Prosecutor, @beth__elbc, who had fought SO hard for justice and WON…
that we would be gifting the now 7-year-old victim and his family with their dream trip to Disneyland.🤗🎁

Thank you, Lisa, @academytravel & @thekingdominsider for making this possible. You are a real-life fairy godmother.✨
And, thank you, Orange County Child Abuse Prosecutor, Bethel Cope-Vega for ALWAYS fighting for our children and for consistently standing up against the monsters who hurt them.
You are a true hero.🩵🩷

Dawn McCoy - 3 Likes - This is what a Loving Way Stay looks like.🩵🩷🎉
Favorite new toys waiting on the kids’ beds…
A fully stocked fridge with the family’s favorite snacks & treats…
And curated special surprises scattered throughout the home/hotel to make them feel EXTRA welcomed.
When we started @LovingWayFoundation, we knew that our Loving Way stays - soothing, healing respite getaways for victims of child abuse and families - would be a BIG part of it.
But we didn’t know just HOW big they would be.🫶

Hosting our first stay at @PrettyInPinkPS in Palm Springs with the phenomenal Anderson family - and their tiny survivor, Levi (pictured here in the helmet) - showed us the power of what these trips can do.
Their joy and excitement and relaxation and FUN (🎉!!) surpassed any and all expectations we had!
Mostly because they’re just an inspiring survivor-warrior family…but also because their joy felt like ours.☺️
Then was the moment we welcomed them into the home - and it’s a shared feeling of utter joy I will always cherish.🥰

Waylon & I know it firsthand - that a vacation where victims are welcomed, taken care of and pampered - doesn’t only create core memories…but renews spirits that can feel broken, defeated, downtrodden, weak and weathered.
My work in the travel and television space has allowed us the warmth and comfort of hosted trips just like that.
So we wanted to pay it forward and give our fellow victims’ families that same level of comfort and warmth that we’ve experienced over these past few years.

We now have a short waitlist for our Loving Way Stays and my heart couldn’t be more full that our foundation is finding those in need of them…but we need more support to get these families healing.

Thank you @prettyinpinkps & @wanderluxe_vacationrentals for hosting our first Palm Springs #LovingWayStay.
It’s one we will never, NEVER forget.

Please donate what you can at www.LovingWayFoundation.org/Donate to help keep our Loving Way Stays and child abuse prevention going strong.
And if you have a vacation home, hotel, resort, vacation destination that you’d like to talk us about for possible collaboration, or airline miles you’d like to donate, please reach out to me directly.

Hosting our first stay at @PrettyInPinkPS in Palm Springs with tiny survivor, Levi, was one of our top-5 life moments.
Their joy and excitement and relaxation and FUN (🎉!!) surpassed any and all expectations we had of our @LovingWayFoundation respite stays.
Mostly because the Anderson family is just an inspiring survivor-warrior family (Dad is a fighter pilot, even)…and their joy felt like ours.☺️
I will always cherish this moment of welcoming them into their home for the week.🥰

Dawn McCoy - 3 Likes - I am feeling so grateful for all of you this holiday season and for your ongoing support of @LovingWayFoundation. 
2024 was a BIG year for Loving Way thanks to our donors, partners, and sponsors! Thank you.🩵🩷

As we approach the new year and the long-awaited start of our trial, I am deeply mindful of the harsh reality that so many survivors of child abuse never see their cases reach trial or experience the justice they deserve. 
Looking ahead to 2025, Loving Way Foundation remains hopeful and determined to expand our reach and amplify our impact—bringing renewed hope, healing, and joy to families just like us who have endured the unimaginable -  impact that is fueled by your generous financial support.

A very special note of gratitude for our private donor who is offering a dollar-for-dollar match up to $10,000 until 12/31/24.  

Wishing you all a beautiful holiday season filled with love, joy, justice and wonder….and some miracles in there too, perhaps.🫶

Dawn McCoy - 3 Likes - A week from today will mark 5 years since it was discovered that my weeks-old godson, Waylon, was being abused by someone he should have been able to trust. Out of his and his mom’s immense pain eventually came a shared vision to help fellow child abuse victims, their families and caregivers in the way they’ve needed support during their long recovery from devastating tragedy. 
It’s called @lovingwayfoundation .

Loving Way’s mission is simple: Offer families opportunities for respite, healing and joy; provide them with resources to help them navigate the often confounding legal, medical and social services systems; raise awareness of the scourge that is child abuse; and strengthen laws and penalties for those who prey upon our most vulnerable.

I’m honored to serve on Loving Way’s board, and was witness to much of the remarkable things that Dawn & Waylon and Loving Way accomplished this year. Here are just a few highlights:

🩵 We hosted 5 Loving Way Stays for child abuse victims and their families & caregivers, coordinating all-expenses-paid respite vacations in Palm Springs, Austin, Oceanside, and Anaheim

🩵 We produced and hosted 7 advocacy events, reaching more than 5,000 people in person, and hundreds of thousands more online

🩵 We took on 11 one-on-one advising and mentorship cases, helping victims & their families navigate the dizzying criminal justice, social services and medical systems

🩵 Founder Dawn made 5 public speaking appearances, contributed to 2 child abuse prevention conferences and supported 6 criminal court cases with child abuse or murder charges at their center

🩵 And Dawn appeared on 6 television news shows speaking about Loving Way’s mission, child abuse prevention and child safety

How about that?!? ⚡️⚡️⚡️

Dawn and Waylon and their big-hearted Loving Way team are heading into 2025 with plans to make an even bigger impact on this largely unseen and underserved community.

If you’re looking to make a charitable donation by year’s end, we’d love to have you join in our fight against child abuse.

Dawn McCoy - 3 Likes - Merry Christmas to all!!🎄
This year, newly aged 5-year-old Waylon seems more aware of the spirit of Christmas and Santa.🎅🏼
I remember after our first Christmas morning - spent alone, Waylon & me, in Los Angeles in 2020 after the trauma - I called @heychrisrichards crying in a ball on the floor while Waylon napped after we had “opened gifts.”
“He can’t open the presents, Chris.
He can’t touch the presents.
He can’t feel the presents.
He can’t even SEE the presents.
This is not the Christmas I imagined for my son.
Does he even know what Christmas is?”

Chris said something that day that is always with me every Christmas - no matter what life brings our way:
“Waylon knows it’s Christmas because of your Christmas spirit. You make it so special for him with the music and the tastes and the dancing and the snuggles that he can FEEL Christmas without seeing a thing, Dawn. He knows it’s Christmas because of how you feel - and how you make him feel.”

That. That’s what I needed to hear to…
Keep the traditions going…
Keep celebrating…
Keep trying…
All for my son.
Sure, it takes a little imagination and belief in magic.
But…
Isn’t that really what Christmas is all about?
From the very beginning, it’s been about believing in the unseen and having faith in the seemingly impossible.
Christmas forever.
Love, The McCoys & Loving Way Foundation ❤️🫶

Dawn McCoy - 3 Likes - That light is shining down on Mayor @JohnEricksonWH for a reason. ✨ 
We were so honored to attend Mayor Erickson’s swearing in for West Hollywood City Council for his 2nd term last night before we boarded an early plane to Texas this morning.
We planned our flight around it, actually.

4 out of 5 West Hollywood residents voted and the choice was resoundingly clear: They wanted John.
But perhaps John’s biggest endorsement came from right here: Waylon.🩵
John serves on our @LovingWayFoundation board and is a fierce advocate for - and friend to - our disabled community and child abuse victims.
He has supported programming for 4 events in West Hollywood to bring awareness to both the pervasive problem of child abuse and continuing issues around foster care.
I don’t know many other leaders who can say that.🙌🏼

Thank you, John, for supporting our children and for taking a strong stand against child abuse.
We couldn’t be happier that you’ll serve another 4 years - and we are SO proud to call you our dear friend.🫶

Dawn McCoy - 3 Likes - Tomorrow, it will have been five years since my newborn son was almost killed by a living, breathing monster.
A monster disguised as a human he should’ve been able to trust.
Next month, we go to trial at last to hold that monster accountable for crimes too heinous for most humans to even fathom.

As we head into this new year, I ask you to please keep Waylon - and justice for him - at the forefront of your prayers and energy.
Pray for the jury serving on a case that will challenge their hearts and faith in men…
Pray for our District Attorney to present a powerful case…
Mindfully pray for a judge who has compassion for victims and their indelible rights…
Pray for privacy and space for our family as we navigate this challenging time and begin our healing journey with this long-awaited life count trial, verdict and sentencing.

But also hold fast to the fact that this trial is just the beginning of a new journey for us.
And when the monster is held accountable for his actions to the fullest extent of the law, I will be there for every single parole hearing that follows.
Because my job after this initial act of justice is to make sure that the monster stays caged where he belongs for life - and that he is never, NEVER released into a naive, trusting society ever again.

Tomorrow, we celebrate Waylon - and the miracle that he survived a monster who wished not only to do him harm - but for his total demise.
But today, I grieve and mourn and vent…
And I am ANGRY.
And I look forward to creating legislation that supports our most vulnerable victims rather than the convicted offenders who made them such.

Now, we prepare to fight the most important battle of our lives.
And it IS a battle of good vs. evil.
Monsters vs. angels.
And since our angelic Waylon can’t fight or use HIS voice, I fight and use MY voice for him.
His silence makes me even louder.
Are you ready to be loud with me?

Dawn McCoy - 3 Likes - I have just a few Palm Springs “musts” when friends visit and ask me for recommendations - and @BarCecil is at the top of the list.
As I head out to Palm Springs today for a weekend of @Modernism_Week design, architecture and vintage glam, I had to share our most recent Bar Cecil dining experience.
We started with Cecil’s bread rolls with local date   save butter…
And then kept things fresh with the Girl & Dug Farm Salad with local citrus and a DIVINE Peach Vinaigrette.
Then we graduated to the Steaks   Frites - an 8 oz. Flat Iron with cafe cut fries, bearnaise and cafe de paris butter - and the Cacio E Pepe, which is indulgently tantalizing.
And, naturally, we ended with the best pavlova on the planet - their signature Aniston’s pavlova that I crave upon seeing the windmills.
A little slice of heaven - whether dine at a table in civilized style or dine at the bar which I always opt for.

My sensational (and oh-so-comfy pink velvet dress): @TeggyFrench The Bianca Maxi 🩷
