What Your Gift Makes Possible

    
          Today – Current Limitations
          With Capital Campaign Investment
        
          Geographic Access
          One campus limits consistent engagement for many families.
          Multi-campus model expands access across KCK, Missouri, and the Northland.
        
          Transportation
          Linwood is not near public transit – limits access for biological parents & youth.
          KCK Campus is near public transportation for easier access.
        
          Capacity to Serve
          Growth capped by facility size and geography.
          100% increase in capacity with Linwood-level impact replicated at KCK.
        
          Therapy Services
          Only 3 therapy rooms, 1 small sensory gym. Co-treatment limited.
          10 therapy rooms at KCK enabling co-treatment models and group therapy.
        
          Seasonal Programming
          Animal programs limited to ~7 months due to weather.
          Covered arena at Linwood expands programming to 12 months per year.
        
          Regional Impact
          Support concentrated around one campus in Kansas.
          KCK Campus serves Wyandotte County and expands impact to Missouri families.
