We believe in the power of community—a shared bond that brings us together in common purpose and unity. As caregivers searching for a home for your autistic loved ones, we understand the importance of finding a supportive and inclusive environment. We wanted to take a moment to share with you the journey of what we are calling (for now) The Alora Farm Project. It's been quite the ride, and we're excited to give you a glimpse into how we got to where we are today.
Truth be told, there were moments when we weren't sure if we'd make it. The path was filled with COVID and inflation challenges, and there were times when it felt like we were barely hanging on. But here we are, and it's all thanks to the support we've received along the way by organizations and kind donors who want this to work as much as we do.
You see, this project wasn't just a dream—it was a calling. And just when we needed it most, funding came through, like a gentle breeze breathing life into our efforts. It was a reminder that some things are just meant to be, and that belief has carried us through every twist and turn.
There came a point where we had to ask if we were cheating our son out of life experiences by pouring so much of our own money into this project? We could buy an RV and travel the country with him, but that wouldn't solve the much needed residential arrangement for him and others when we caregivers transition out of this realm. So I'm in this. My son and others too will be ok.

We put those donor dollars to work on the art vision of our mission.
