Ray Graham Association

🇺🇸 As Americans, independence has been our calling for 250 years. We’re proud to help people with disabilities live it every day, on their own terms.

📸 Signers of the Declaration of Independence. Among them: Stephen Hopkins of Rhode Island, who lived with a tremor that made writing difficult. As he signed, he steadied his right hand with his left and said, “My hand trembles, but my heart does not.”

We're grateful to announce a $24,962 Community Impact Grant from DuPage Foundation for our therapeutic garden program! 🌱

From raised garden beds to indoor hydroponic gardens, this program gives the people we support hands-on access to sensory-based horticultural therapy and fresh, healthy food.

It's an approach rooted in person-centeredness, the same commitment behind our Emerge Behavioral Health Clinic, where licensed professionals provide counseling, assessment, and treatment that help close the mental health gap for people with disabilities.

Thank you, DuPage Foundation, and the generous donors who make this work possible. Together, we're helping DuPage County reach, grow, and achieve.
