"A Home to Call My Own" Campaign - Double your Impact for Avondale House!

We are so close to reaching our match goal, and your support can make a tremendous difference in achieving this life-changing milestone.

Your generosity will help us open our fourth residential home, providing immediate and critical support for families who have waited over a decade to receive access to the 24/7 care their child deserves.



Please make a generous gift today to provide a safe, nurturing home to call their own for six adults with autism. 

Every donation, no matter the size, brings us one step closer. Please consider making your year-end gift earlier this year to help us meet our goal. The match challenge deadline is September 30.

We extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone who has already contributed. Your support means the world to us, and we look forward to the incredible difference we will make together.

Donate today using the link below. To make your pledge, reach out to Valerie at valerier@avondalehouse.org. If you would like to start your own fundraiser in support of this campaign, visit the link below to get started.
