The impact of your gift.
Whether you’re giving for the first time or renewing your commitment to our mission in Phase 2 of this campaign, you are helping continue work that is already underway and prove to matter. Your gift helps:
- Preserve a sense of home for someone who has lived there for 20+ years
- Make it safer for someone to move around with a walker or wheelchair
- Give peace of mind to families who know their loved ones
- Invest in permanence – a tangible legacy
Your gift to Phase 2 of the $1M Strengthening Foundations campaign will help us complete essential renovations and adaptations that directly impact health, safety, and quality of life, while also advancing a longer-term vision for more responsive technology-based homes.
- Widened doorways and accessible bathrooms aren’t cosmetic upgrades, they are necessities for individuals who rely on wheelchairs and mobility aids
- Lift systems and adaptive equipment aren’t conveniences –they are lifelines that prevent injury and ensure direct support professionals can provide the best support possible
Electrical upgrades and emergency generators are more than just infrastructure improvements; they are essential safety nets in the event of a power outage who rely on medical equipment
AI-assisted tools help support independence while strengthening oversight for direct support professionals
Help us strengthen foundations.
Among the many causes you could support, few offer the lasting impact of ensuring someone’s home remains a safe and stable place to thrive.
Together, we can Strengthen our Foundations
