Six months ago, none of us could ever have guessed that we would be in the middle of a massive health crisis. These are challenging times for all of us, and Rising Ground and the people we support are no exception. We are in a tenuous position, and we need to ask you to join us as we continue our work. We have to purchase PPE for our staff and families. We have invested heavily in keeping our sites clean as well as finding the support to pay our staff for the exceptional hours they are putting in to keep our supported person's safe.

Rising Ground supports children, adults, and families that face the greatest adversities life has to offer. The Covid-19 pandemic and efforts to curb its impact add additional stress to all our lives but especially to the people who count on Rising Ground -- the poor, single mothers; people with intellectual and developmental disabilities, those living in our residential programs; and so many others.
