A Path To Peace

08/10/2026

Last week, we had the opportunity to celebrate National Night Out at Crofton Country Club , hosted by the Crofton Chamber Member Events & Promotions .

It was especially meaningful because it was our first community event where we had the opportunity to share about A Path To Peace and the vision we’re building in our community.

National Night Out is a wonderful reminder of the importance of building strong relationships between our communities, law enforcement, first responders, and the people they serve.

Thank you to the Greater Crofton Chamber of Commerce for bringing our community together, and to all of the law enforcement officers, first responders, local leaders, businesses, and residents who continue to serve and strengthen our community.

We’re grateful to be here, and excited for all that’s ahead!

Not every day is glamorous. 😂

When you’re building something from the ground up, sometimes your meeting gets replaced with a chainsaw.

After 9 hours of hard work, Robert and our neighbor Chris gave this tree everything they had… but this old pine wasn’t ready to let go. In the end, we called in the professionals—and that’s okay.

Thank you to our amazing Crofton neighbors for always being willing to jump in and help. We couldn’t be more grateful.❤️

Fresh cut.🌿

Shoutout to Ez's Family Landscape Maintenance for helping us care for these 13+ beautiful acres. We especially appreciate working with community partners whose lives are connected to our mission—including a father of two sons with autism.

Today, we are proud to introduce A Path To Peace, a woman led nonprofit dedicated to creating supportive and integrated housing, including housing for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities, alongside equine therapy and agricultural programs. Our vision is to create a place where dignity, opportunity, healing, and connection can thrive. Our flagship project is at the historic birthplace and childhood home of philanthropist Johns Hopkins, a remarkable property on a little over 13 acres in Anne Arundel County, Maryland.

Over the next three years, we will focus on stabilizing, rehabilitating, and reimagining this historic property so it can serve a meaningful purpose for generations to come. As the initiative grows, we anticipate creating up to 22 Maryland based full time jobs and part time apprenticeship opportunities.

Our vision is grounded in both professional experience and personal commitment. With a background in residential real estate, we recognized an opportunity to help address the urgent need for more housing options, particularly for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Our experiences navigating support and health care systems, along with our connection to the autism community, continue to shape our mission to promote integration, independence, dignity, and long term well being.

We are deeply grateful for the encouragement and partnership we have already received from neighbors, advocates, leaders, organizations, and supporters. We look forward to sharing updates as this work progresses and welcoming others who want to help shape what is possible.We believe transformational places can create transformational outcomes, and we are grateful to begin this journey.
