Sharing My Passion for This Worthy Cause

“I am very grateful for all the HCA has done to enhance the quality of life for my brother and so many other people with disabilities.”
~ Kathy Ann Corse

My Brother Chucky

In 1961, my brother was diagnosed with cerebral palsy. Known then as the Handicapped Children’s Association, the organization, under the direction of Mrs. Anne Campbell provided exceptional speech and physical therapy for Chucky.

Their dedication to educate our family about cerebral palsy, as well as the much-needed emotional support given to my mother, Catherine, was beyond helpful.

At the age of 5, with assistance, Chucky took his very first steps.

HCA, Helping Celebrate Abilities, has been providing services to the disabled population since 1947. What began as a small pre-school for special needs children has grown into a large organization, serving people with disabilities of all ages. The organization is near and dear to me.

The HCA is a NYS Cerebral Palsy affiliate. As the HCA’s work and outstanding reputation aligns with my charitable goals, I have chosen this exceptional organization to sponsor.

“Very humbling. It’s a good read for your soul. Catherine’s selfless act of giving to help take care of her family, was so special.”
