Charter Pilot Program! ('10 thru '12)

aHAND4 ® Life! conducted a "Charter Pilot Program" throughout 2010 thru 2012 - while we were developing our Program outline and Policies and in application for our US 501 c 3 "tax-excempt" status declaration by the US IRS, which we received November 14th, 2012.

The purpose of the Pilot Program was to assess certain aspects of Programs, to learn what was needed, what worked, and didnt, and to formalize that in to a series of Policies and Programs to bring to the Public. We accopmlished our goal, and are happy to be bring these valued Services to you at this time - our "Charter", by our Articles, Mission and according to our Vision.

We will carefully scale Operations, with input from the Public we Serve, and guidance from various State Agencies and other Non-Profit Organizations and US Charities. We hope you appreciate the work we're doing, as it is difficult, important, and we know the Need is Great!

* The Photo sequence is for a person with a chronic, significantly neuro-muscularly physical developmental disability, our Founding Ambassador, Brett E. LeMahieu. Photos are presented roughly in sequence order, after a 2nd Billateral Pallidotomy procedure, in 2001, thru his years in semi-independent living in Santa Clara (under SARC), and now in West LA (under WRC).

* Our Success Stories are understandably limited to our completed Pilot Program. aH4L! is just beginning - we are launching Operations in October in West Los Angeles and San Jose. Please return from time to time to witness our inspirational success stories. Improving the lives of People with Significant Physical Disability is generally NOT "made for TV" excitement! It is difficult work, under difficult physical and emotional circumstances. Yet, we are confident we will have many excellent, inspirational successes to share each year. Thank you for your Interest!
