Nova Center of the Ozarks provides services to adults and children with autism and other developmental disabilities. Many of our clients require 24-hour care, and many have little or no family involvement. While we are able to bill Medicaid for all of their direct services and administrative costs, their limited income doesn’t allow for basic needs such as dental care, healthcare items, housewares, clothing, bedding, or transportation to medical appointments. Nor simple luxuries we all take for granted such as birthday gifts, dinner & camp; a movie, or a summer camp which may be the only time they have a chance to get away for a few days. 100% of the donations we receive make all of this possible and is why we depend on the success of this fundraiser.
