Wish List 

     We recognize that the need throughout our country and the world is great.  We also recognize that some of the best people who know the needs of children with disabilities are the parents, special education teachers and the therapists (OT, PT, SLP) working with the children. 

     Since we are a new charity, our initial focus will be in the communities that Dick Dunphy’s daughters live in.  Mary is an Occupational Therapist in Leavenworth, WA and Christy Rommel is a Special Education Teacher who lives in St. Charles IL.  Our vision is to steadily grow so that we may meet the needs of children with special needs outside of our communities, throughout the country and the world. In the future we will have an application process for these needs to be addressed.
