The Krysti Bingham Cerebral Palsy Foundation was founded by Dianne Bingham to help other families and persons who have been presented with special challenges.
Named in honor of Dianne’s daughter, the Foundation is committed to creating home-like, long-term residences that are an alternative to institutional facilities and nursing homes, thus our mission statement;
“The Krysti Bingham Cerebral Palsy Foundation, Inc. is committed to providing assisted independent living housing and services to adults with Cerebral Palsy, helping to avoid unnecessary institutionalization and providing a “Home Life” setting for eligible residents.”
Too often, people in the prime of life have been forced to live in nursing homes, rehabilitation centers and hospitals, or at home with aging parents.
The KBCPF “Hope Houses” are transforming the lifestyles of persons with cerebral palsy from one of social isolation and dependency to one of dignity, shared experiences and community involvement.
By focusing on meeting the mutual needs of the disabled person and the family, KBCPF’s programs astrive to prepare its disabled consumers and families to lead more fulfilling lives by making wise choices and by interacting more effectively with others in the community.
By offering a place to call home, programs, therapies and employment, KBCPF encourages, enables, and brings people to a point where their ability eclipses or exceeds their disability. |
