Fall 2010 - Mission Road Ministries
annual report ‘10 Cover photo: Oscar Williams Photographer, LLC www.oscarwilliams.com The Road to Independence, Productivity and Inclusion MRM Koalas New Kids on Campus SOAR was born to be shared. MRM’s on-campus summer program for residents has all the elements of a great camp — swimming, basketball, arts & crafts, badminton, education, spiritual development. Kids laugh, run, play and enjoy snacks and meals. Camp counselors nurture, encourage, teach and break up the occasional squabble. With the opening of the spacious new Oppenheimer Center, MRM has opened up its awesome camp to families in the community with special needs children. These campers are the Koalas and they are SOARing! Darius and his Mom One of our new Koalas, energetic, eight-yearold Darius, loves swimming, dives into new activities with zest and is a friendly little chatterbox. Julie O’Toole, Director of the MRM Children’s Program, says, “Darius is a real cutie and lots of fun. He likes to tattle: ‘That boy needs to go to time out.’ And he’s not big on our dog. He’ll announce: ‘That dog shouldn’t be in this classroom.’” He keeps the staff on their toes. Darius’ mom, Karen, is also his biological grandmother. She adopted him when he was an infant and has been his caretaker, mom, grandma and advocate. As a 30-year teaching veteran who also spent a few years in special needs classrooms, she is familiar with the issues of children with developmental delays and autism. Navigating the system to get help is an exercise in frustration for this new Texan. “We moved here a year ago from Massachusetts,” she says, “and it seems the more I find out the less I know.” Discovering MRM has been a mixed blessing. Although funding for Darius may be available next summer through the Mental Retardation Authority, at present she must pay full tuition for camp — $50 per day. Transportation is another issue. She logs almost 100 miles per day driving him to and from her home on the northwest side. “It’s exhausting,” she says, “but the camp is very good for him … and as a former teacher I’m impressed with the quiet and peaceful classrooms … there’s no yelling or screaming. The children are served very nicely in a loving atmosphere.” Her son enjoys the camp, she says, “because they keep his hands and feet active and his mind going with lots of activities. And while he is at camp, I have time away to collect my thoughts.” (continued on page 12) Darius mom and his relax in de the sha OAR. ay at S nny d on a su 2 Send a Kid to Camp And You Just Might Go to Heaven No guarantees, of course, but we’re pretty sure there’s a special place in heaven for all the generous donors who reach into their pockets and make a gift to send our kids to camp. It happens every year at Shindig. Guests clamor to buy a week of joy for our kids … and pure happiness is what they get! os With a little bo ales The Wall. sc trepid camper selor, an in t from his coun If you could see the faces of nine-year-olds Jake and Charlie when they mustered up the courage to do the zip line for the first time. Or 12-year-old Nate who was terrified of “the screamer” last year, but vowed to take it on this summer. And he did — he put on his helmet, got in a harness and climbed the three-story “screamer” climbing wall like a veteran mountaineer. There was a bit of screaming, of course. Shindig ’10 Scoot your boots on over … This is the third summer for MRM kids to go to Camp Aranzazu in Rockport and it was an awesome, life-changing experience for our little campers. They swam, canoed, kayaked, fished, hiked, shot bows and arrows, made arts and crafts, participated in sports, embarked on daring adventures, gathered ‘round the campfire … it was a full-tilt camping experience filled with thrills and laughter. Set this date aside for a night o’ dancin’ and feastin’ and good times at the 31st Annual Grand Western Shindig: Thursday, December 2, 2010, at Leon Springs Dancehall from 6:30 p.m. til the cows come home (or 11 p.m., whatever suits your fancy). MRM staff accompanied the campers — 42 kids ages 8 to 17. Julie O’Toole, Director of the MRM Children’s Program, said, “Our kids have many needs and challenges and our staff knows them well, so we’re there to help the Camp Aranzazu counselors, who are college age … and our kids love them. The camp is laid back and flexible and an ideal environment to encourage the kids to try new experiences.” O’Toole has been at MRM for 20 years, and her steady presence is a comfort to the children. She said the camp gets better every year. “It gives the kids a sense of freedom and fun that is rare for our children, whose complex needs require structure.” But during this one magical week, it’s all about silliness and gutsy courage … and profound gratitude to all the generous MRM donors who make it possible. Yippee Ki Yay! Shindig’s back … and we guar-on-tee it’s gonna be the most fun you’ll have this year, y’hear? Kick up your heels to music by the Almost Patsy Cline Band.

Webb Retired Military Physical Therapist Oppenheimer Center & Pavilion Double the Fun! How did we manage before the fabulous new Oppenheimer Center and Outdoor Pavilion became the focal points for fun, fitness and learning on the MRM campus? Wow. Look at us now. We’re serving twice as many clients in our Adult Day Care Program and have created spacious, comfortable, well-equipped facilities for 145 children and adults who reside on the campus or who attend the campus for day programs. Busy children and adults enjoy the large, air-conditioned recreation/ convocation Oppenheimer Center and the open-air, covered Pavilion. Day Habilitation clients have gained a lovely dining area and kitchen for lunch and training and we’ve already held dances and carnivals in the Pavilion. Others in the community are also benefitting from our new spaces. We opened our summer program to children in the community with e of fun and learning vilion will be the sit ssive outdoor Pa The handsome, ma e. com to years for now and special needs; and Kinetic Kids, another non-profit that serves special needs children, is using our gymnasium for their basketball programs. MRM is a happening place. And our amazing team brought this great project in under budget — even including lights, paving, removal of old facilities, fencing, electronic gates and signage. Love and thanks to all who made this dream come true! 4 Mission Road Ministries Annual Report of Donors July 1, 2009 through June 30, 2010 GIFTS TO SUPPORT OPERATIONS, PROGRAMS & EQUIPMENT $10,000 to $100,000 Clifford Craig Bledsoe Memorial Foundation Faye L. & William L.

While her peers are experiencing a new chapter of freedom and self-discovery, Karen is beset with worries, struggling with decisions and making sacrifices. Darius, who has autism and functions at the level of a five-yearold with the language skills of a four-year-old, requires structure. Karen would love a bit of spontaneity in her life, but must focus on structure instead to accommodate her son’s needs. She wonders: Will he ever catch up? Will the gap close? And she answers with a sigh, “The gap will probably continue to widen.” Helping Kids & Parents Mission Road is grateful to be of help to families like Karen and Darius. Expanding SOAR into the community helps provide respite for weary caregivers, while engaging children in social, recreational, physical, intellectual and spiritual programs to enhance their lives. Julie O’Toole says, “We’ve developed a really great camp for children outside our MRM community and the interest is enormous and growing. Funding is an issue for many, however, along with transportation … so we’re working with families, directing them to services that can help fund their children. Next year will be better.” Parents feel confident leaving their children at MRM. O’Toole says, “Our staff is always prepared … because anything can happen with this population. Every day, some new predicament comes along that we creatively work through. It’s not stuff you learn from a book; it’s from years of providing services.” That’s the MRM magic at work for our kids and kids in our community. Just another way we spread the love.
