From the minute the Payasos walked into Hope House, we knew we had found the right charity to support. For many families, the burden of caring for their child would be a severe hardship were it not for a place like Hope House which has been providing a home for children and youth affected by autism and several other severe emotional and challenging developmental disabilities since 1963.

Recent budget cuts have hurt their toy fund. The toys these children need must meet special guidelines and are not readily available in retail stores. The children and youth of Hope House are in urgent need of new toys to replace those old and worn out. With funding at an all time low, it is uncertain if they will have toys this holiday season. Please help with a donation which will bring the joy and wonder of toys to the children of Hope House this holiday season. You will receive charitable gift receipt for the value of your donation for tax purposes from Hope House a 501(c)3 nonprofit with tax ID #95-2287909.
