Where the Money Goes

Your financial contribution helps with:

Computer Access—In the information age, computer knowledge is vital for all to remain technologically engaged and connected.

• People with disabilities of all ages require computers and software to communicate, navigate on the internet and word process to enhance skills for future employment and to cultivate their personal interests.
•  In addition, people with severe communication impairments may require assistive computer devices to communicate more effectively.

Clinical Support—Children with disabilities receive individually tailored services so that they may learn and retain information, communicate effectively, and participate fully in all community activities.

• Physical and occupational therapies strengthen children’s capabilities to participate in activities of everyday life.
• Speech therapy helps children with pronunciation, language, and cognition so they can communicate and interact with others more effectively.

Employment —Being employed enables people with disabilities to gain confidence and become tax-paying citizens, and provides employers with reliable and well-trained workers.

• SJCS support individuals with disabilities to develop career paths and receive necessary training to attain and retain competitive employment.
• Employers receive training by SJCS staff so that both current employees and new employees with a disability can work together to create a positive and productive work environment.

Home Repair—Group homes and apartments are in constant need of repair and maintenance.  Your support helps to keep the homes safe, attractive, accessible, and wonderful places to live.

• Maintaining fully accessible homes requires repairs such as repaving driveways, fixing ramps, and widening doorframes for wheelchair accessibility.
• Beautiful grounds make for happy homeowners and neighbors—planting, weeding and landscaping helps residents feel a true sense of belonging in their communities.

Community Activities and Recreation—By participating in community activities, people with disabilities hone social skills, interact with varied cultures, and form relationships with their non-disabled peers. 

• Attending sporting events, cooking classes, or summer concerts expose people with disabilities to new and different experiences.
• Travel and leisure, such as beach vacations or weekend camping trips, are wonderful ways for everyone  to recharge one’s batteries and take a break from daily routines.
