 Message from Craig King,

It is dismaying that anybody would stoop so low as to knowingly steal from a community-based, nonprofit organization serving people with developmental disabilities.
Alas... we've been robbed several times recently and must raise funds to cover the costs.
Two weeks ago, one of our three wheelchair passenger vans was stolen from the parking lot at our Day Program in San Jose (a 2006 Dodge Caravan, as shown in the photo). According to police, the thieves likely chopped it for "parts", as our company signage is prominently painted on the van. This van was used on a daily basis to transport participants from home to work sites and to community sites throughout Day Program hours. Fortunately, we have insurance to pay part of the replacement cost, but it will still cost us many thousands of dollars to get a new van.
If you want to read about this and the other incidents and/or help with our vehicle replacement costs, please click the button below. We thank you for supporting services for people with developmental disabilities.
