Help us help Hope House! We are training and running to fundraise to buy a car for Hope House! A car will enable the staff to safely transport their residents to and from medical appointments and community outings.
Hope house was started to meet the need for quality care for children with both physical and mental handicaps. Today, it serves as a long term home for children and adults. It "is one of a very few private, community based, non-profit organizations in Texas serving as a residential facility and 'Forever Home' to children and adults with severe to profound intellectual developmental delays and physical disabilities."
Their mission says that they exists "To providie a long term, forever home, to the most severe cases of mental and physical disability in a loving family environment where our residents can live a life as normal as possible, free of chemicals, restraints, and isolation for as long as they need"
We are honored to be running in THEIR honor!!!
