This year alone, community support has made incredible impacts, including:

• Carl’s unforgettable birthday adventure in Newport. Accompanied by his peers, Carl explored the wax museum, marveled at the undersea gardens, and watched sea lions basking on the docks. For Carl, who lives with developmental disabilities, experiences like this are rare. His social security is his only income and the community often struggles to understand him or fully recognize his unique needs and abilities these barriers make outings like this out of reach. But thanks to the care provided by Star of Hope Activity Center, Carl enjoyed a day filled with joy, discovery, and connection—something he’ll never forget.

• Krystal’s magical night at the Hult Center. Since 2017, Krystal has found a safe and supportive home at Edgewood Group Home. This year, thanks to generous donations, she attended a nationally touring acrobat show at the Hult Center. She was mesmerized by the dazzling performances and vibrant energy of the event—a moment of wonder made possible by supporters like you.

• ​

  For individuals like Carl and Krystal, these experiences go beyond special occasions—they provide joy, connection, and opportunities to thrive.
