What We Do
Why accessible homes and vans matter.
The foundation chooses deserving people who have everyday life challenges due to their injuries or disabilities, and current living conditions that are not conducive to their unique needs.
With the help of individuals like you, the community and our corporate sponsors, we raise money to support building fully handicapped-accessible homes and handicapped-accessible vans. This allows individuals and families to live a little easier.
Our Namesake Samantha, whose life inspired our mission.
