Every child deserves the opportunity to grow and thrive, regardless of circumstance. At birth, the children of Pattison's Academy's families are realistically prepared for everything their child may never accomplish.  They may never walk, talk or feed themselves.  However, Pattison's exists to prove that not only are those milestones possible, but so may more, if our children are given a place as special as they.

Everyday, I am amazed by the strength of the children at Pattison's Academy.  In the face of upmost adversity, our children are the earthly embodiment of unconditional love, perseverance and are a source of infectious humor and laughter. 

Our mission of improving the lives of these children and their families is only possible through the purposeful, passionate and patient work of our staff. They serve our children with unwavering dedication every day and are amongst our greatest blessings. 

Through Pattison's Academy, our programs and our staff, our children have written their name for the first time at 13, walked for the first time, in our own halls, at 18 and told their parents "I Love You" for the first time at 21.  Everyday I have the honor of serving these children and our staff, and in return I experience the everyday miracles taking place. Today I'm asking for your support of our work. Your donation means the gift of progress for those who deserve it most.
