Dear Friends,

I have been a student at Orange Grove Center for three years now. Many of you remember how different I was before I enrolled at Orange Grove. I needed year-round care, because of Autism. A consistent schedule, along with supportive and well-trained caregivers has changed my life for the better.

I am very grateful for Orange Grove. Autism is growing at an alarming rate. When I was born, the Autism rate was 1 in 1500. Ten years later, the Autism rate is 1 in 150. Many children need specialized help. Orange Grove is able to care for kids like me. The costs to educate and serve children with Autism is expensive. Orange Grove needs help to meet these demands.

Would you please help support our wonderful Orange Grove Center? We are having a Capital Campaign to raise much needed funds for our school, our programs and our adult care homes. We are blessed to have such a wonderful place right here in Chattanooga.

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page.
