Rising Above with Becky Davidson- Ginny Mooney
About Ginny
Ginny Mooney founded 99 Balloons, an organization working with persons experiencing disability, alongside her husband Matt Mooney. 99 Balloons refers to what was released at the funeral of their first son, Eliot Mooney- each balloon representing a day he spent on this earth. Among the many gifts Eliot brought his parents was a passion to help persons with disabilities and their families. They desire to change the story of disability by proclaiming the worth and image-bearing beauty of each and every human being. Ginny is currently the Executive Director of 99 Balloons.
What began with starting a small respite night called rEcess in their community has grown into a global movement championing relationships and inclusion for persons with disabilities- with now over 45 rEcess sites across 3 countries. Their story and work have been featured on The Today Show, National Geographic and The Oprah Winfrey Show.
Ginny is the mother of Hazel (14), Anders (13) & Lena (16) & is currently serving as the Executive Director of 99 Balloons.

"Me trusting Him doesn't mean I like it...I don't have to like it, to know that Jesus is good and He is at work, and He is near."
