Nonprofit Overview

Mission: I have often spoken of this feeling I have about our lives ~ that each of us is here, for whatever amount of time, for a reason. A mission. Perhaps to leave this earth a little better than it was when we arrived. My mission has never been questioned. What began as a seed many, many years ago is now blooming and growing into an immense dream of a project. Our official, tax exempt non-profit 501(c) (3) organization, “Stephanie’s House, Inc” was started in May of 2009. It is our mission to raise the funds necessary to provide and maintain a loving, caring home for women with developmental disabilities, providing each individual with physical and emotional security and a dignified quality of life, with opportunities and challenges, within each individual’s functional capabilities. Please know that we are a volunteer run organization with a board of directors, by laws, meetings and Articles of Incorporation. Everything we make in this sale goes into the mission.

I've watched this Organization from the beginning...Marie Louise took on an issue that affects so many and ACTED ON IT.
STEPHANIE'S HOUSE, INC has blossomed & is now meeting the needs of young women who otherwise might not enjoy a little "independent" living while still remaining in a safe, healthy environment.
I'm proud to Donate to such an awesome organization.

One of the most worthwhile and honest charities you could support. These adult daughters with autism have a chance to shine in their small group home with the assistance they need to thrive.

Stephanie’s House started as a dream, and with determination, grit, and a sincere desire to make a way for an independent lifestyle for mentally challenged adults became a reality. These adults learn skills to live a more fulfilled life, and a feeling of independence, which is priceless. I have a deep respect for Marie Louise Ludwig in creating this non-profit organization. It takes a so much hard work and commitment by her and the team of people who assist her in providing a better life for these adults. There is, in my opinion, nothing better than that. ❤️

What this mom has achieved in her quest to provide a high quality of life for Autistic adult female children is nothing short of miraculous. She tirelessly advocates on behalf of these young ladies. A true non-profit where the proceeds go directly to the Home they are intended for. I pray they are able to continue this journey with an abundance of donations.

As more and more parents decide they do not want a group home for their son or daughter it is refreshing to see a parent think outside the box and develop something better. A place that is safe where a loved one can be cared for in a manner designed by parents. What is better then that? Great job.

Having two nephews on the spectrum, I understand the need for such an amazing organization. My sister struggles everyday with who will be able to care for her children when they are adults and Stephanie’s house provides a place where adults with autism can live with the constant care they need and have a sense of purpose.

Although I am not a parent of a child with autism, but I have several friends that do, and I understand that it is not an easy road. Stephanie's House is one of my favorite charitable organizations. They are dedicated to providing safe housing and support for adults with autism. This organization runs on donations and provides these lovely, caring young ladies a SAFE environment and loving support every single day. Although I don't live in the area, I proudly support this organization every year. Please consider researching and contributing!!

I found out about Stephanie's House through a mutual friend and I am so happy I did. Marie has worked so hard to make this home for autistic women a reality and it is finally becoming a reality! I started out as a donor, became a volunteer at one of her many fund raising events and now consider myself a friend! I admire her so much because she never gave up even though there have been many obstacles along the way. This home will house young women who otherwise would get lost in the "system". I will continue to support her efforts and hope you will consider doing so, too.

A nonprofit organization formed and driven by the mother of an Austic Daughter. She realized that when she is no loger able to care for her daughter, there is no government funded place resembling a home environment for adults with Autism (in fact once an Austic child e omes an "adult" there is little to no support or programs to give their lives meaning). She started this charity to help not just her own child but all Autistic children transitioning to adulthood. She is raising awareness and getting the job done when no one else was willing to step up. The charity's purpose is to buy and rehab houses and turn them into safe homey places where these special adults can feel at home and still be cared for the rest of their lives.

Stephanie's House is an AMAZING charity! Every penny you donate goes to helping young adults with autism and to give them a life filled with love and purpose. I have been a donor to this charity for about 4 years now and I have peace of mind knowing that my money is being put to good use and not being wasted. Stephanie, who the charity is named after, is an amazing and beautiful young woman and it does my heart good to know that she and so many others like her, will be well taken care of, even after their parent/guardian has left this world.

Please give to Stephanie's House and you will be glad you did!
