During this time, Jimmy’s family has played a tremendous role in raising generosity to ensure the 370 individuals supported at Hammer & NER can experience peace, safety, and comfort. Hear the story of Jimmy’s sister, Kerri, and what prompts her family to philanthropically invest in Hammer & NER.”
“Since 1999, Wayne, has led a happy and meaningful life at Hammer & NER, surrounded by people he loves and who love him. Wayne worked, had an active social life, and played sports. He started to experience signs of dementia like many older individuals with Down Syndrome. He wants, and deserves, a safe and secure home, well-trained caregivers, and nursing care that allows him to age well.”
“Hammer & NER is more than a human services organization. It is also a home services organization. The 59 group homes we operate require care, maintenance, and renovation. These homes also require accessibility improvements to ensure that people can live without barriers. With financial support from you, we create special homes that are wheelchair accessible, have modified bathrooms and comfortable shared space.”
