THE PROMISE FOUNDATION IS:

The Promise Foundation Sandusky is a very small, non-profit community group organized several years ago by a number of families in the northwest Ohio area. The organization's primary purpose is to provide support for families who love and live with one or more disabled family members or family members experiencing some degree of disability. Among other things, this includes the whole scope of special education and the process of addressing the educational needs of children experiencing any degree of disability".

THE PROMISE FOUNDATION IS NOT:

→ a place to get help, or

→ to give or seek advice, or

→ to engage in advocacy, activism, or social change initiatives

Whenever possible and appropriate, we will provide references or links to other organizations and agencies with the resources to address these needs.
