Specialized furnishings and equipment are fundamental ingredients, or building blocks, in creating a nurturing environment for young adults with disabilities.
Imagine trying to build a house without a solid foundation, or a car without wheels. In a similar way, funding for furnishings, fixtures, and equipment (FF&E) is a critical foundation of homes for young adults with disabilities, like the people who live at Nigel House.
Think of the FF&E as the critical building blocks inside Nigel House. It includes specialized beds, mobility aids, communication devices, sensory equipment, therapeutic equipment, and other tools that empower young adults with disabilities to live as fully as possible, and as independently as they can.
These essential items aren’t a luxury; they’re a necessity. Just as a car needs an engine to run smoothly, Nigel House residents require specialized equipment to navigate the world comfortably and safely. They ensure comfort, safety, and a sense of normalcy for residents.
The community generously donated the money needed for the building. Now we have the challenge of raising money for critical furnishings, fixtures, and equipment.
But here’s the silver lining: by recognizing the importance of FF&E, we can actively work towards closing this gap. Support from donors like you can make a world of difference.
When you make a donation to the New Home for Nigel House, you’re investing in the wellbeing and happiness of the people who live and work there. You’ll help ensure they will have the necessary furnishings, fixtures, and equipment to create an environment where they can flourish and lead fulfilling lives.

Help us fund important furniture and equipment so people like Kelly have the opportunity to live in an environment that meets their needs, and brings wellbeing and happiness to their daily lives.
