Dr. Curtis Rogers knows how tough it is for the parent of an adult
child with special needs. As a geneticist with Greenwood Genetic
Center, he sees hundreds of families come to the realization that
their child will never outgrow the
need for mom and dad’s shelter
and protection. But as an InDwellings board member, Dr. Rogers has
hope that when mom and dad are
no longer around, there will be a
safe and secure home staffed by
professionals to help their loved
one enjoy life to its fullest. “There
are about 800 families on the
critical-needs list in SC,” says
Rogers, “and about 3,000 total
waiting for a placement.” Without
homes like those being built by
InDwellings, these families will
continue to wait with little or no Dr. Rogers and one of his patients,
hope. To give them hope, we need Kelly Vaughn, whose parents know
the value of a future home for her.

“Just to have a place for Kelly in a Christian atmosphere
means a lot. If we weren’t able to take care of her, we’d at
least know she was safe and loved. And she may mature to the
point where she wants more independence. Right now, I don’t
know where we’d find that for her.”
-- Peggy Vaughn, Kelly’s mom

InDwellings is a ministry of Foothills Presbytery dedicated to
building homes for Upstate adults with developmental
disabilities. Many of these people and their families have no
option for a safe and respectable home when the parents and
loved ones of these adult children can no longer care for them.
You can help make a difference! InDwellings is asking for your
prayers and support in making this dream of independence a
reality for the first of its future residents, men and women just
like our featured friend Kelly who are waiting to celebrate news
of your compassionate and generous support.

 InDwellings is currently accepting one-time and annual pledges in its threeyear capital campaign, which was launched May 28, 2009, at our build-site.
 The homes will be constructed in Easley, SC, on 1.1 acres of land adjacent
to Presbyterian Communities of SC, which donated the land.
 Each home will accommodate four residents.
 The estimated cost of construction for the first two homes is $950,000, our
financial goal of the campaign.
 Construction will begin when InDwellings has received financial
contributions totaling 75% of the cost of the first home.
 The first year’s operating expenses (estimated at $212,000) have already
been met by current InDwellings funds, and will be supplemented by
resident fees, state and federal assistance funds, and charitable
contributions.
 InDwellings is requesting all PC(USA) churches of the Foothills Presbytery
to consider a 3-year pledge to this local missions ministry, in addition to
support from individual donors across the Upstate, private foundations and
governmental grant sources.
 Commemorative naming opportunities are available.
 Allen L. Freeman of Freeman and Major Architects has been selected as the
architect in collaboration with our builder, Trehel Corp.
