However, they are faced with a complicated and cost prohibitive adoption process. This gap continues to widen as more children die and families struggle to find the resources to adopt. A Child's Hope Foundation is bridging this gap by creating adoption orphanages and providing a healthy environment for infants and young children, awakening their spirits while seeking a loving family for them. With your help we can save lives, build families, and be a child's hope for love and belonging in this world!

Seattle, WA 98108 Phone: 206-285-9140 E-mail: info@nwcenter.org Website: www.nwcenter.org Type: Our Mission Statement Northwest Center was founded in 1965 by parents who refused to institutionalize their children with developmental disabilities or accept the prevailing notion that their children couldn’t be taught. Banding together to form Northwest Center for the Retarded, they hired their own teachers to develop education programs targeted to special needs and found that their children could indeed learn. That was only the first step. Still frustrated that children with disabilities weren’t accepted in public schools, these parents authored and won approval of civil rights legislation that opened the doors of Washington State schools to all children—with no exceptions. The Education for All Act was the first such law in the nation and served as the model for federal legislation. The spirit of advocacy and innovation that gave rise to our organization has continued to influence our development. Now over four decades later, Northwest Center has grown to become the largest community service organization serving the needs of children and adults with disabilities in the Pacific Northwest. Backed by a tireless staff, strong leadership and active community partnerships, we are working to enrich the lives and livelihood of the individuals we serve. Our innovative combination of programs and enterprises is building the life-long relationships necessary to assist people with disabilities and their families—now and into the future.

The plight of young oncology patients was brought to Grant’s attention during his senior year at the University of Nebraska Lincoln, when he befriended a young Husker fan with leukemia from his home state of Missouri. To help prepare the child for the loss of his hair during treatment, Grant, Jason Peter and Jared Tomich included Kendall in their pre-game ritual of shaving their heads and presented him with an honorary blackshirt jersey. His concern for pediatric cancer patients, through that first encounter in Nebraska, has grown into the Foundation that bears his name.

By 1979, SEHS had emergency shelter units in three garden communities owned by Seattle Housing Authority (SHA) - - Holly Park, High Point, and Yesler Terrace. SEHS started the Transitional Housing Program in 1980, the first agency in the country to offer homeless families this model of service. SEHS consolidated all the emergency housing units in 1986 and moved to its present location in 1989 when SHA remodeled a section of Yesler Terrace for use by SEHS. The! agency provides emergency shelter in furnished apartment units and transitional housing in neighborhoods throughout the Seattle area. Additionally, every family in SEHS housing is provided case management and access to additional services and resources to help them deal with problems that led them to be homeless. SEHS was the first agency to house homeless families in Washington. From the modest beginnings in four donated apartments with volunteer staff, SEHS now has 31 units of emergency shelter, 25 units of transitional housing and provided intensive case management services.

Ingrid Vilona founded American Family Charity after a long history of helping other people, primarily the homeless and working poor.

Design Response Address: 1922 The Alameda Suite 205 San Jose, CA 95126 Phone: (408) 260-3220 E-mail: info@designresponse.org Website: www.designresponse.org Type: Our Mission Statement Since our inception in 1992, Design Response has been delivering on our goal of improving environments for nonprofit agencies and schools that serve the most needy in our community. We have completed more than 200 projects for agencies serving the poor, homeless, developmentally disabled, and families and children in crisis throughout Santa Clara, San Mateo and Santa Cruz counties. We've helped make their facilities safe, functional, well designed and, most of all, welcoming. Operating on shoestring budgets and in cramped quarters, nonprofit agencies in our community frequently struggle to ensure continuity of client services. Rarely is spending time or money on critical facility improvements a priority. By leveraging the volunteer time and talent of the design industry, and combining that with donations of high quality furniture and materials and our own professional project management, Design Response fills this need and adds value at a fraction of market cost. We also know that an individual’s sense of self is deeply affected by the space that surrounds them. And when that individual is in crisis, the effect can be even more profound – affecting their dignity, their self-worth, and their ability to accept help. Design Response believes that an agency’s physical surroundings have a profound impact on its ability to achieve its mission and impact the lives of the people it serves. Design Response is a 501(c)(3) public benefit corporation.

Pancreatica Address: 149 Bonifacio Place Monterey, CA 93940 Phone: (831) 658-0600 E-mail: webmaster@pancreatica.org Website: www.pancreatica.org Type: Our Mission Statement The purpose of this site is to serve as a worldwide gathering point on the Internet for the latest news and disinterested information in regard to clinical trials and other responsible medical care in the treatment of pancreatic cancer. Additionally, our aim is to present impartial knowledge about pancreatic cancer where interested parties can sort through a large amount of information efficiently in order to give a sense of the range of existing treatment options, to aid patient/doctor partnerships, and thus to help optimize personal treatment strategies. Receiving a diagnosis of pancreatic cancer is serious news. For some, conventional surgical and /or medical therapy is the best option. For many of those with more advanced disease, putting one's affairs in order and seeking that medical attention which will help insure physical and emotional comfort, is the correct and most responsible decision. But for others who wish to fight, it is important to know that there are options. There have never been this many options. The odds, depending on the type and extent of the tumor, may not be great. But fighting these odds may increase survival and may even provide an increased sense of well-being. And some people find meaning in the fight itself. For example, enrolling in a clinical trial can possibly help personal survival, but it definitely will help other people. These kinds of treatment decisions should not be taken lightly. They must be taken with the greatest of care. But options do exist. And to evaluate whether they make sense, information is needed---open, disinterested information. We trust that this site can provide the kind of information which is necessary to help begin the search for an optimal treatment strategy.
