Sheltering Tree is a non-profit 501 (c) 3 organization, dedicated to building a housing community in the Omaha metro area to serve and meet the needs of young adults with developmental disabilities, such as Down Syndrome and autism.
Like everyone else, individuals with developmental disabilities should have the chance to realize their full potential. They should be able to reach maximum independence, lead a productive and fulfilling life, build lifelong friendships, and be supported in their personal and religious beliefs so that they can contribute and belong to the greater community.
"My name is Grace. I play baseball, basketball and soccer. I go to Millard North where I am the basketball and track manager. I like to help a team because they are my friends and important to me. In the future, like my brother and sister, I would like to live on my own.”
With your support, Grace can realize her dream to live independently and continue to enjoy her active role in the community!
