A Will is a legal document that allows you to direct how your estate is distributed after your death.

The mission of Designing Dreams is to create and maintain personal networks for people with disabilities with a focus on a good life now and in the future. The organization is a result of one mother’s nightmares abou what would happen to her son if she should dies. She began to gather resources so that her nightmare would not become a reality. As a result of this, Designing Dreams was established to develop networks of committed people to provide companionship and support, and assure that this is a lifetime commitment for the family member.
