#GivingTuesday is Today... Please make a Donation :)

This is it...the biggest day of the year, #GivingTuesday. 

We are looking for every single one of our supporters to give on this day and watch their donations to our cause grow in real time in the Giving Tower. Please share this message. Forward this message to a friend
We are raising money for the Richard Roehm Memorial Ranch. Named after our late founder, RRMR will be a place that provides much needed housing and training facilities for the deaf, blind and autistic. The funds raised will go directly to the project. Please help us move forward and continue to be able to provide our services to those who need it the most.  We do a lot of good with very few resources, but right now we need YOUR help to succeed. We currently do not have the equipment we need nor do we have the funds to buy it. We are on raw land, that means there is NOTHING there unless we put it there! We are going to be on the land in Lancaster until we find land in Orange County, while we do this we are still supporting operations serving our clients. A blind boy that needs help with his IEP to get services needed to learn in class, a Deaf man being evicted from his home, an Autistic girl in need of a service dog. These are all real people we are actively helping! Please donate and then open your contact list and CALL others to donate. We need you, please help!
To help, please Go Here https://www.crowdrise.com/helpthedeafblindandautistic/fundraiser/ocdac to give to our cause. Any donation, large or small, makes a huge difference and is so appreciated. You can also mail your donation to us.

Then, download the free Giving Tower app. By using the app, you'll be able to experience the Tower in an immersive 360 degree environment where you can interact with the Giving Tower in real-time and watch it get taller and taller. 

Let’s build this Tower to the moon and make sure half of the bricks on the tower are representing the Orange County Deaf Advocacy Center. 

Thanks so, so much.

The Richard Roehm Memorial Ranch

A self sustainable residential and training center for those with auditory and visual sensory disabilities run by the Orange County Deaf Advocacy Center.

Named after our late founder Richard P. Roehm, the Richard Roehm Memorial Ranch will provide the next level of services neccessary in the sensory impaired community (including those with auditory and visual impairments, as well as sensory processing disorder often found in thise with autism).

Too often, people with sensory disabilities are turned away from programs that might help them, or worse, there are no programs that can meet their needs. There is a true need for programs and services aimed at the sensory impaired population.

This project involves a $5 million capital campaign, to purchase a ranch and / or farm land in Orange County, to provide temporary / long term housing and extensive rehabilitation training to clients in a therapeutic environment.

If you are interested in learning more about the Richard Roehm Memorial Ranch or contributing to the Memorial Fund, please contact us!

Thank you,

Candy Sale Fundraiser!

We are starting up our candy sale fundraiser again. This is something I used to do a lot when I started at the Orange County Deaf Advocacy Center. We are selling candy bars for $1 each. The candy is packed in bags of 20, making each bag worth $20. That plus some people will just want to donate makes this an easy fundraiser. If you are interested in helping out with this please let me know.
Thank you,
