Make a Difference Today - Lend a Helping Hand and Change Lives
In 1958, a concerned father saw a need for educational services for his son with disabilities. Knowing that he was not alone, Russell G. Nesbitt and a small group of parents and supporters began a school for individuals with intellectual, developmental, and behavioral disabilities. Located at 519 Fulton Street, the program opened its doors in April of 1960 with six students and that number doubled within 5 months. Right now, that little building at 519 Fulton Street sits unused and in disrepair. Just as Mr. Nesbitt did many years ago, we are reaching out for help. Your donation will assist us in making the necessary repairs that will allow us to open those doors again. The refurbishment of this building is vital to the expansion of our programs for adults and adolescents with disabilities. |
