Mike and Bobbie Sue Kvachkoff have shared a life, a love, and a commitment to serving their community since they were 16 and 17 years old. Throughout their relationship, they have always been passionate about giving back, volunteering when opportunities arose, and finding meaningful ways to make a difference in the lives of others. Today, they are proud parents to three beautiful children, whom they hope to raise with the same compassion, empathy, and appreciation for the unique gifts every individual brings to the world.

Both Mike and Bobbie attended Purdue University, where Mike earned his degree in Business Management and Bobbie earned her degree in Theatre Performance with a minor in History. Mike later earned his Juris Doctor from Valparaiso University before returning to their hometown to establish Kvachkoff Law and Associates, where he specializes in real estate law. Through his legal practice, Mike has had the privilege of meeting countless families navigating guardianship and supporting loved ones with disabilities. These relationships have given him a deeper understanding of the challenges families face and the importance of having access to trusted resources, guidance, and advocacy.

Bobbie pursued her passion for the arts, working with a variety of high schools, founding her own children’s theatre, and eventually joining Memorial Opera House (MOH). While at MOH, her dedication to creating meaningful opportunities through the arts led her to assisting in the establishment of Indiana’s first  chapter of the Penguin Project, an inclusive theatre program that brings together individuals with disabilities and peer mentors to create theatrical experiences that celebrate everyone’s abilities, talents, and potential. Through this work, Bobbie has witnessed firsthand the transformative power of inclusion, friendship, creativity, and belonging.

Together, Mike and Bobbie brought their professional experiences, shared values, and love for their community together to establish Justice and Joy Collective. Their goal is to help bridge the gaps that too many individuals and families experience by creating inclusive community events, building meaningful partnerships, and providing education, advocacy, and access to legal resources for individuals with disabilities and the families who love and support them.

At the heart of Justice and Joy Collective is the belief that everyone deserves to feel welcomed, valued, supported, and included. Mike and Bobbie hope to help create a community where individuals of all abilities can experience joy and connection, families can find support and understanding, and caregivers can access the knowledge and resources they need to navigate life’s challenges with greater confidence.

As parents, they also see this journey as an opportunity for their own family to grow. They hope their three children will learn invaluable lessons about kindness, compassion, acceptance, and the beauty of embracing differences as they walk this path alongside them. Most importantly, Mike and Bobbie recognize that they have just as much to learn as they have to give. They feel incredibly blessed to be part of such a remarkable community and look forward to learning from the individuals, families, advocates, and organizations who inspire this work every day.

For Mike and Bobbie, Justice and Joy Collective is more than a nonprofit. It is a reflection of their lifelong commitment to people, family, inclusion, and the belief that when we come together with open hearts and a shared purpose, we can build a community where everyone belongs and has the opportunity to thrive.
