Mission: I have often spoken of this feeling I have about our lives ~ that each of us is here, for whatever amount of time, for a reason. A mission. Perhaps to leave this earth a little better than it was when we arrived. My mission has never been questioned. What began as a seed many, many years ago is now blooming and growing into an immense dream of a project. Our official, tax exempt non-profit 501(c) (3) organization, “Stephanie’s House, Inc” was started in May of 2009.It is our mission to raise the funds necessary to provide and maintain a loving, caring home for women with developmental disabilities, providing each individual with physical and emotional security and a dignified quality of life, with opportunities and challenges, within each individual’s functional capabilities. Please know that we are a volunteer run organization with a board of directors, by laws, meetings and Articles of Incorporation. Everything we make in this sale goes into the mission.

Results: In the last 11 years, we have raised over $300,000.We purchased our first independent LIFE home on October 10,2013.It is located in the beautiful town of Chester Springs, PA. It is home to three adults with autism and 4 caregivers who take turns with Stephanie days and nights. Our model has worked and it has inspired other families across the country to do the same.
