"Our daughter, Ellie, started at Fraser School when she was four months old, receiving physical, occupational and feeding therapy, and it's been a constant source of help, information and hope ever since. Doctors told us Ellie would never walk, talk or eat without a feeding tube. Fraser changed all that.
"Fraser gave us hope that Ellie would make friends and learn skills we couldn't teach her. As the years went on and our hope turned to reality, Ellie felt comfortable at Fraser, she had friends and was included.
"I think back to when Ellie was born and the hopeless future the doctors painted. Today, Ellie not only walks, she runs. She not only talks, she sings. She eats pizza and chicken nuggets on her own like other kids her age. And every day we are so thankful for the hope Fraser has given to our family."
—Kari and Justin, Ellie's parents
Fraser School is committed to helping all children reach their development milestones. It is through your support that Fraser School provides such critical services.

On behalf of the Board of Directors at Hearts & Hammers—Twin Cities, I would like to express our sincere appreciation for the grant we received this month in the amount of $2,000.
The mission of Hearts & Hammers—Twin Cities is to provide exterior home improvement assistance—painting and landscape clean up—to qualified senior, veteran and/or spouse, and disabled homeowners so that they may continue living in their homes. This grant will help us provide those services free of charge to those homeowners.
Since its founding in 1997, Hearts & Hammers has assisted over 553 homeowners in the Twin Cities and is supported almost entirely by volunteers from local businesses, community organizations, and churches. In 2017, with the help and support of nearly 1,400 volunteers from 53 businesses and organizations, on 15 work days, Hearts & Hammers was able to transform the homes and lives of 39 deserving homeowners in our community. We look forward to an equally successful 2018. Your support helps make this possible.
Sincerely,
Randi Prebil
Executive Director
Hearts & Hammers—Twin Cities
