Our Goals

1. To ensure 35-50 hours a week of direct support for people like Margot

Margot is a 23 year-old, non-verbal young woman with significant levels of IDD. Our goal is to provide her with 5 to 6 days a week of teaching / support at home and in the community. We are working with other families with similar needs who are looking for full- or part-time support.

Despite her disabilities, Margot is a very active volunteer in our community. Look at just some of the ways she stays healthy and helps her community. We began developing these activities in the spring, of 2021, with the help of direct staff support from the CHAAMP program at the Chester County Intermediate Unit.
