In Memory of Danielle Veen

For the past three years our family and several of Danielle's friends families have been focused on trying to start a housing model for adults with special needs - adults with developmental and intellectual challenges.   These wonderful  people, supported by their families are not eligible for housing support from government funds as the waiting list is too long.  Presently they are not yet in crises, as they are living with loving and supportive families who are managing their day to day needs, routines, jobs, and activities.  In order to ease the burden on the already lengthy waiting list, and in an attempt to offset difficulties in the future, when parents will be too aged to continue to care for their adult children, we are looking to develop a safe and secure housing option that is not dependent on government funding. 
Our hope is to model a type of housing which, when successful, could be replicated for other families.  This vision for affordable housing requires substantial amount of fund raising.  
We have incorporated a non profit organization, the Simcoe Sojourners Supported Housing Community.   However we do not yet have a direct link for donations at this time.  This go fund me page is being used to funnel funds to the Simcoe Sojourners Supported Housing Community in memory of Danielle Veen.  All monies collected will benefit numerous adults with special needs.
