While this wonderful organization, Houston Area Respite Center, has attracted more support, higher awareness has also increased demand for its services. If you haven’t made a donation, please think again.

The Houston Area
Respite Center should be able to keep its doors open —and possibly
expand services for children with special needs — because of a recent
surge in donations.

More than $5,500 has been collected in the week since the center
announced that fundraising woes had landed it in danger of closing.

While
that’s only a fraction of the $90,000 a year the center needs to
operate its parents’-night-out program for special-needs children and
social club for adults with disabilities, agency organizers said
they’re building momentum.
