My name is Gayle Reynolds and I work with Arizona Foundation for the Handicapped in Casa Grande, Arizona. AFH is requesting donations to assist in updating and improving our park. (Pictures attached) The park is small, approximately 40 x 96. On our wish list is a built in BBQ, large pots and plants, drip system for the pots, additional pavers, picnic tables and benches, decomposed granite for the dirt areas. Any donation of materials or a monetary contribution would be greatly appreciated by our clients and staff.

AFH is a non profit organization that works with developmentally disabled adults from the Casa Grande area. We also work with developmentally disabled children throughout the community. We have many different programs at our facility. AFH offers a center based workshop, community enclaves at local businesses, a day treatment program and HCBS (home and community based services). There are more that 100 clients in our various programs. AFH is located in the Old Town area and the park adjacent to our facility. We have been in Casa Grande for almost 50 years and at this location for over 40 years. Our clients ages are from 18 to almost 80 years old. Their diagnosis include Downs Syndrome, Autism and Cerebral Palsy; most are ambulatory though some are in wheel chairs or need some assistance to get around.

The park is a quiet place to enjoy the outdoors in a safe and secure atmosphere. We have frequent picnics and parties in the park; the clients eat lunch and also do many different activities in our park. The park is used seven days a week by the clients at our facility, as well as the community clients that utilize the park on the week-ends.

Thank you for your time and consideration for our donation request.
