Respite Center
We continue with our efforts to develop a respite house that will offer nursing care for medically frail children. This house will be the first of its kind to offer temporary relief to the hundreds of families caring for their frail child at home. The day to day efforts of parents caring for their frail and sick children at home can be overwhelming. This respite house will offer a well-deserved break for a day, weekend or week. ATDC has been working with the Catholic Church Diocese for several years and hope the negotiations for the property to develop this house will be completed soon. We have invested over 10 years on this house. We realize this program is very important and we will continue our efforts to build this home.
UPS Donation
ATDC/Angela’s House was selected to receive a $100,000 Grant from the UPS Foundation, which is the charitable arm of United Parcel Service.
This marks only the second time a Long Island non-profit agency has been awarded this top grant in the Northeast region. Besides being among more than one hundred organizations nominated on Long Island, ATDC/Angela’s House was selected over groups from cities including New York, Boston and Hartford.
“ATDC/Angela’s House was nominated by our East Long Island District employees for this grant”, said UPS District Manager, Bruce Trotter. “It was a perfect fit between the desire of the foundation to make a direct impact in the community and the need for a very specialized Respite home for Medically Frail Children.
