Donations for What?

I added a donation page to the website because I want to build a new residence. I currently reside in Cleveland, Ohio with my husband, stepson, and my two dogs. We also have a roommate who is an active 21 year old man with autism. We have outgrown our space, but it is important for us to keep our main residence in Cleveland. The Cuyahoga County Board of Developmental Disabilities has been helpful and more supportive versus Lorain County. I want to find a property with at least five acres, because we need space. I would really like to build more of a recreational space for people with disabilities that have been turned away from adult day programs. An indoor pool would be a dream! My roommate graduated out of high school at the age of 20 and he has not been accepted into an adult day program. I have a hard time understanding these agencies in Ohio. I know my roommate has specific needs, including being nonverbal, but he is not the only person in Ohio who has graduated high school without being able to read or write. I can get the money to try and become an agency, but I risk losing my independent provider certification for five years if my agency application was to get denied. I cannot take that risk. I want to offer my knowledge to those who care enough to become a provider and I will continue to find a way to support more people.
