Wishing Well NFP

 I am Ashley Krauchun and I'm the program coordinator at a non-for-profit organization called, "Wishing Well".  Wishing well is located in Frankfort on Manhattan-Monee/Center road.  The mission of Wishing Well nfp is to se...rve developmentally disabled adults by providing quality life experiences, promoting the continuation of educational activities, fostering the development of individual self-help skills, providing opportunities to participate in community integrated activities, and to work toward achieving the most independent lifestyle possible. Additionally, Wishing Well nfp will assist people with developmental disabilities to advocate for a better quality of life.  I look forward to going to work everyday and the hardest part of my day is getting our participants out the door to go home because they never want to leave!  Because we are a nfp organization and are run solely on donations there are a lot of things that we could use to keep our amazing program going strong, if you or anyone you know would be interested in donating to the wishing well you can do so by visiting our website: www.wishingwellnfp.org or by purchasing a gift on our Target wish list: http://www.target.com/ot/list/q2Aln0ubhvQwMkLh2QF8cQ. There is no gift too small!  We are also looking to have volunteers come in and spend some time with our participants by doing a craft with them, reading them a story, talking about your profession, sharing a talent, or anything that you think our participants may enjoy.
