Fisher's of Family Fixes the Roof

Fisher's of Family Lutheran Church in Portland rounded up members of their church and the "SNL" (Sunday NIght Live) group to have a "work day" at Hannah's Hope. They replaced the roof covering the back porch AND painted our fence! Many thanks goes to Daniel, who organized the work day, and all of the friends he brought with him!

The Ocanas Family Featured in Local Magazine

Elbert, Debbie, Ethan and Hannah Ocanas were the subject of an in-depth article about living with autism featured in a free local publication called Corpus Beat. Hannah is one of our students. Along with the article written about the Ocanas family, are other articles written about autism and its cost. Corpus Beat also included an interview with Mark Christoph, founder of CBAA (Coastal Bend Autism Advocacy).

You can find a copy of the magazine at many local H.E.B. grocery stores or check it out on the web at: www.corpusbeat.org

Homes Tour Raises Over $7,100

St. Christopher's held a homes tour in December with proceeds going to Hannah's Hope. It was announced today that the event raised over $7,100! Hannah's Hope is a non-profit, tax exempt organization and we are dependent on support for the community. Our goal is to keep tuition as low as possible while providing the best instruction for all of our students. We could not do this without you!
