Our history

In 1980, San Antonio didn’t have specialized resources for premature and medically-fragile babies. The tiniest and weakest among us, who needed help the most, had nowhere to turn.

Marian Sokol, PhD, started Any Baby Can (now ABC of Southwest Texas) in San Antonio in 1982. She saw that families needed help with case management, support and information. ABC started from that simple beginning.

Any Baby Can is now a well-established 501(c)(3), serving families in 19 counties, with a building donated and dedicated to her leadership. Kens5 | Navigate Life Texas

"We just knew something was going on. Any Baby Can, they welcomed us with open arms. They made us feel like there are resources out there, support systems."
-The Flores Family
"Honestly I’m not really sure what I would do or how I would have grown up if it wasn’t for Any Baby Can. It changed my whole life. And its given my mom and the whole family the opportunity to know there are resources out there"
-The Cazares Family
“We knew we needed help. We just didn’t really understand what Any Baby Can would be able to help us with. We met with our parent consultant more frequently and were just blown away with the different resources available for us.“
-The Guerrero Family
"To hear someone say they’re sorry, and you know sound genuine about it. It meant something. And then to be able to say what can we do for you - going to support groups has been extremely helpful. We’ve met other families with similar stories. And, just knowing that there are other resources out there for us. That there is help out that.. We felt a lot of love from Any Baby Can."
-The Garza Family
