Any government funding we receive is solely allowed to cover the most basic of needs of the people we support. Anything beyond that, including art and music programs, cooking lessons, day trips, and the occasional visit to relatives is funded through the generosity of our donors. That means that no matter the amount, your donation will go a long way toward helping the individuals we support enrich their lives by being able to express themselves through creative activities, gaining independence while attending a skill-building class, learning about the world on a weekend trip, or feeling supported while visiting a loved one.
