Will you support PARCA today? Your support helps us make a significant impact in the lives of so many remarkable people with developmental disabilities in the Bay Area.

This year, presented unique challenges for our clients, their families, caretakers, providers, and our staff. Our clients are at a heightened risk for coronavirus and struggle with social isolation. Many clients and their families lost their jobs and were unable to pay for food and care.

We've worked tirelessly to provide the best level of care, compassion, and kindness to our clients and their families. We're constantly adapting to our "new normal" and seeking to ensure we're all connected and clients are provided the care they need and deserve.

We shifted to provide a day program for clients at one of our homes, we have all-day childcare and remote learning support for children of essential workers, and we provide our clients who are essential workers with proper PPE and share how to stay safe and healthy.

We're honored to learn from our clients and with them. They're joyful, positive, and optimistic during such an uncertain time. We're grateful for all the Zoom birthdays, the pen pal letter exchanges, setting and reaching fitness goals together, and our virtual holiday celebrations.

Please join us in making a year-end donation to PARCA. Your generous support of any amount helps us provide services, safety, and a sense of community to people with developmental disabilities in the Bay Area.

Thank you for giving and sharing widely! We're incredibly grateful.

Monday inspiration: "I like to encourage others to tryโ€ฆI am always encouraging my friends to exercise to stay more healthy." Meet 66-year-old Michael, a PARCA - Partners & Advocates for Remarkable Children & Adults client and PRC participant. Michael was hit by a car, fractured his ankle, had to get surgery and undergo several weeks of intensive physical therapy. A month later, Michael tested positive for COVID-19 and was transferred to the hospitalโ€™s dedicated isolation facility but fortunately remained asymptomatic. Throughout the whole ordeal, Michael has maintained his unfailingly positive attitude and a keen sense of humor. We are very proud and thankful for you Michael!

Some fun facts on this rainy day in California!
- There are 60,000 miles of trails in the National Trail System across the 50 states
- Some of these trails are hundreds of years old. The oldest continuously used trail in the U.S. is Crawford Path in New Hampshire (1819!).
- Other trails allow us to follow in the footsteps of Lewis and Clark or explore even more ancient history like Effigy Mounds National Monument.
