As a donor, you provide people with developmental disabilities the opportunity to be an important part of a community; you help individuals live life with dignity by contributing to their involvement in day programs, work, church and other public events; you ensure their homes are safe, comfortable and well maintained; and most of all, you remind people that they are not forgotten but are loved and respected.
