Thank You
Dear friends,
We couldn’t have done it without you. Your generosity during this time of need, will provide the equivalent of 30 days of training for 20 participants.
We can’t say enough how much of a difference all your support makes in the lives of our participants. Without you we couldn’t fulfill our mission to help individuals with developmental disabilities reach personal goals through individualized skill development, vocational opportunities, and community service.
And for that, we thank you.
