Why the Need for Angels

      First, thanks to everyone who contributed for March! We did not get all that we needed, but Becky Dowling, of Just People, Inc. knows I am speaking to several groups, so more will come.
     I want to share with you some facts that highlight why Just People, Inc. is so important. In Parade magazine Sunday, an article addressed the growing population of autistic adults without resources. In the next 15 years, 500,000 autistic children will graduate out of school systems in the United States and into the unknown. Programs and funding for them are scarce. The price of many programs and therapies is why the cost of raising an autistic child, according to a Harvard study, can add up to 3.2 million dollars over his/her lifetime. It can cost $70,000 a year for staff-supported housing and most have a long waiting list. Today, 1 in 110 people are autistic and the numbers rise 10% to 17% a year. Advocates say autistic and developmentally challenged individiuals like John and Paul are hard workers, have excellent attitudes, but we must help them have safe living arrangements and help them have the best quality of life. Just People, Inc. helps to do this.

      At Just People they define home as:

"A place you live with family or friends, a place you feel safe, loved and accepted no matter what." There is a constant reminder to Be Proud of Who You Are! 

We appreciate your past donations to try and keep John and Paul stay in this home that they love. You are all angels!
