Wendell Foster, a private 501(c)(3) non-profit, is a multi-service agency located in the heart of Owensboro, Kentucky. Wendell Foster serves over 2,000 people each year across 34 counties in Western Kentucky and Southern Indiana. Our services are known for supporting people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. However, we are much more of a comprehensive service provider capable of supporting an array of individuals in need by offering outpatient therapy, residential living, community living, an assistive technology lending library, transportation services, and various support programs. With over 350 “Difference Makers” on staff, Wendell Foster takes its impact seriously as an economic driver in the region. In 2017, Wendell Foster was voted “Best Place to Work” by the Kentucky Chamber of Commerce. Wendell Foster’s core values reflect the selfless lifestyle of its founders, Edith and Wendell Foster. In 1937, Edith and Wendell Foster’s daughter, Louise, was diagnosed with cerebral palsy at the age of 5 months old. Because of Louise, the Fosters committed their lives and opened their home to support children with developmental disabilities. The Fosters provided a residential option to children of seven local families and offered their home as a meeting place while children received therapy in the Fosters’ backyard. In 1947, a volunteer board of directors incorporated the agency, adopted a charter and by-laws, and officially founded the organization known today as “Wendell Foster.” This year, Wendell Foster celebrates its 75th year of continuous operation. Wendell Foster has evolved into community-based organization providing services on-site, in people’s homes, in the area school systems, and in community settings. Wendell Foster still sits in the heart of Owensboro, Kentucky. Our campus has expanded greatly and now occupies six city blocks, with 240,000 square feet under the roof. For 75 years, Wendell Foster has provided care and support for those with disabilities in and around Owensboro.

Our services include: • Outpatient Therapy: Occupational, Physical, and Speech Therapy • Residential Living Support: 63 people reside in our Intermediate Care Facility and 4 in our Independent Living Homes. • Community Living Support: We assist approximately 40 people in our Supports for Community Living, Adult Foster Care, & Michelle P Waivers programs. • Technology and Resources: We offer device demonstrations, a free lending library, education, training, and a re-utilization program. • Community Transportation Program: Provide transportation for those with disabilities to and from physician appointments, services, etc. • Sensory Park – a fully accessible park used by those we serve, school children, and the community.

Our mission is to secure an active, long-lasting, and unified support to children with cancer in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Our vision that every child in Bosnia and Herzegovina has an equal and secure upbringing. We are a non-profit organization that offers services to children with cancer. The Association Heart for Kids with Cancer was founded in 2003 with a mission of creating best practices and opportunities in treating and supporting pediatric cancer patients and cancer survivors, as well as providing professional and financial help to children with cancer and their parents in Bosnia and Herzegovina. To this day, our ultimate focus has remained the same: providing help and support to pediatric cancer patients, survivors and their families. Our organization has been steadily developing ever since its inception. In 2016 we have built The Parents' House, a modern residential building with 10 apartments located on the premises of the Clinical Center of the University in Sarajevo, which provides housing for children undergoing therapy and their families. The Parents' House functions as a separate and independent project of our Association, and is financed solely through our fundraising activities. This has solved a major problem in our field of work, as the Clinical Center of the University in Sarajevo does not have means of accommodating parents of children undergoing therapy, most of which come from areas outside of Sarajevo. We document and closely monitor all our activities. As we are in a constant and direct contact with our clients, their feedback provides a valuable source of information for us. We use questionnaires, evaluation forms and pre/post interviews to derive quantitative and qualitative indicators in order to measure a relative success of our initiatives. All our activities are meticulously planned in advance, and monitored and evaluated along the way and retroactively. We rely extensively on short term and long term strategic planning to set the goals and objectives, and to determine the best way we use resources to tackle problems or exploit opportunities. Since all our operations are funded through fundraising activities and institutional and individual donations, we have put a special emphasis on transparency. We conduct external financial audits and employ independent consultants for all issues of any degree of sensitivity. We are proud to boldly claim that, on account of our dedication, achievements, and our meticulous approach to work, we enjoy a complete and unreserved trust of our clients, governmental institutions and the general public in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
