2012
ANNUAL REPORT
I
I think we would all agree that we are living in times that are so different than they
were only a couple of years ago. What we used to know as usual and customary is
a thing of the past. It is imperative that HGH, like all businesses, looks at how we
provide services and supports to individuals with disabilities. We must look to see
what we can do more effectively and efficiently to better meet the needs of those we
serve.
One of my favorite quotes is from W. Edwards Deming, an American statistician, who said,
“It is not necessary to change. Survival is not mandatory.” The HGH Board of Directors,
Management Team members and stakeholders spent over six months this year developing
a Strategic Plan so that HGH could continue to meet the needs of our community and the
people who count on us every day. The plan was formally adopted by the HGH Board in
September and will provide the roadmap for us as we continue the vision our founders had
in 1967 when HGH began providing services! Out of our Strategic Plan came a new Mission
and a new Vision Statement for HGH…
Mission Statement
“…To improve the lives of those we serve…”
Vision Statement
“…To be recognized as the premier provider of a dynamic spectrum
of individualized services supporting persons with special needs…”
HGH is committed to breaking down barriers and to encouraging people with developmental
disabilities to fully integrate into our community and to enjoy all that San Diego has to
offer – it is America’s Finest City! We have our work cut out for us, but I know that our
dedicated staff, Board of Directors, Board of Governors, Volunteers, Supporters and You
will be there to support HGH as we navigate the numerous challenges in front of us!
We continue to be proud of our long history of accomplishments and are equally as proud
of the accomplishments achieved this past year. A few of the highlights include:
• Awarded East County Chamber of Commerce Nonprofit of the Year
• Assuming ownership of three community based homes for children and youth ages 8 –
22 with significant behavioral challenges
• Expanding services for children (from birth to three years old—Early
Childhood Development Services) supporting 100 – 120 families a
month
• Added services to an additional 80 families in need in our Respite
Program
• Successful fundraising events that have allowed us to bridge the gap
between what we are paid for services and what it costs to provide
quality supports
In closing, I want to again assure you that I am dedicated to
accountability and efficiency. Every donor dollar and every
penny that comes into HGH is spent wisely, helping to
create the quality of life that we all strive for.
If you have any questions or would like to learn more
about HGH, my door is always open.

Maya and Dexter
W
hen you first meet three-and-a-half year old twins Maya and Dexter,
you would never know their pediatrician suspected developmental
delays at one year of age. Fortunately, new parents Charles and Carrie were referred to the California Early Start Program through the San Diego
Regional Center to receive early childhood intervention services.
Thanks to a multidisciplinary team of speech therapists, occupational therapists, physical therapists, and an HGH Early Childhood Educator, the twins are
thriving!
When Moji Afcari, one of Home of Guiding Hands’ Early Childhood Educators,
started working with Maya and Dexter, they were a few months shy of their second birthday. Maya needed help with her gross motor skills and both she and
Dexter had speech delays.
Moji used a combination of evidence-based curriculum, combined with playbased techniques and strategies, in order to provide early intervention services
tailored specifically for each twins’ development. The twins enjoyed playing
with chunky puzzles, crawling through mesh tunnels, jumping on a small trampoline, doing crafts with objects found on their nature walks, and reading from
picture books. Unknown to the twins, all of this fun was designed to help them
achieve age level development skills, so that they were on equal footing with
their like-age peers.
Today Maya loves puzzles, swings and books; Dexter is enamored with his monster trucks, helicopters and motorcycles. Their favorite outdoor activities are
going to the beach and playing at the local playground. This summer they started taking swimming lessons. Maya was a bit hesitant at first, but Carrie says
now she loves swimming and it’s hard to get her out of the pool! Most of all,
the twins are verbally communicating their needs, wants and desires clearly
and without hesitation. Language and communication delays are no longer a
concern.
“It’s so comforting to have these resources available. Carrie and I are so grateful
we learned about the Regional Center, and so glad we were able to work with
Moji and Home of Guiding Hands,” remarked Charles.
Home of Guiding Hands is fortunate to have expanded its scope of services to
the community since assuming operations of Supporting Alternative Solutions
in 2011. SAS brought progressive expertise in Early Childhood Development.
HGH now provides a continuum of services for all ages.
To learn more about the Early Childhood Development program at Home of
Guiding Hands, please contact Mary Moser-Cooper, Director of HGH Early
Childhood Development Services at (619) 938-3058 or email marymc@guidinghands.org. L

The Day God Took You Home
In Loving Memory of Tina
January 14, 2011-January 2, 2012
Always In Our Hearts & Never To Be
Forgotten
In tears we saw you sinking, and watched you pass
away. Our hearts were almost broken, we wanted you
to stay. But when we saw you sleeping, so peaceful,
free from pain, how could we wish you back with us, to
suffer that again. It broke our hearts to lose you, but
you did not go alone, for part of us went with you, the
day God took you home.

e are pleased to announce that Home of Guiding Hands assumed the operations of the
Charles I. Cheneweth Foundation (CICF) on
July 1, 2012. CICF provided transportation services to individuals with severe and profound mental and physical
disabilities. This merger allows HGH to add daily fixed

CICF was established in the memory of Charles Cheneweth, who worked to expand the safety net for people with developmental disabilities in an effort to improve their quality of life and to bring together people

38th Annual Heart and Hand Gala
T
hree hundred guests attended the 38th Annual Heart and Hand Gala
on Saturday, June 16th at the Rancho Bernardo Inn. Presenting sponsor Grossmont Healthcare District was recognized for their support and
generosity to Home of Guiding Hands throughout the years. The Blumberg
and Delsen families were honored for their ongoing dedication to San Diegans
with developmental disabilities.
Other major sponsors included the Bill and Norma Verbeck Foundation,
American Airlines, Delsen & Company LLP, The Law Office of Isaac Blumberg,
Emerson Network Power, San Diego County Credit Union, Barona Resort and
Casino, The Bloom Family Foundation, Viejas Band of Kumeyaay Indians, and
Union Bank.
This year’s 1940’s New York nightclub theme was “Meet me at the Copacabana.” Guests had the opportunity to purchase cigars and raffle tickets from
roaming Cigar Girls, sample martinis and cosmos donated by St. Petersburg
Vodka, and take fun snapshots in the photo booth. HGH was excited to introduce BidPal, an electronic bidding device, to all event attendees. BidPal was a
huge hit and significantly increased event profits!
“During the entire year of very hard work by everyone in our Gala Committee
it was amazing to experience so many sponsors and donors open their hearts
in support of HGH. Then it was even more rewarding to see each and every one in attendance bid high on our donations, making this Meeting at the
Copacabana the most successful fundraising event for HGH in recent years.
Our hearts are overjoyed, and it motivates us to do our best to surpass our
fundraising in 2013” said co-chairs Luis and Marsha Nunez. We are thrilled to
announce that we raised nearly $95,000. 100% of the proceeds go directly
towards the programs and services for the 800 children, adolescents, adults
and their families we support on a daily basis. L
