The Megan Foundation is a non-profit organization providing support to those with Usher syndrome, a rare genetic disorder that causes individuals to become deaf and blind. Loss of these two vital senses often leads to isolation from society, and individuals have limited resources to empower themselves with independent, fulfilling lives. The Megan Foundation uses its programs to create awareness in the community and draw attention to this rare disorder in order to raise funds for the desperately needed research to find a cure, and to give hope to those struggling with Usher syndrome.
What if there was a room big enough for EVERYONE in the St. Louis construction industry to meet, build relationships, exchange ideas, and work on mutual problems? Now there is. Construction Forum STL was created to be a “room without walls” where the entire industry could participate in building relationships and working on issues large and small. We believe that when the construction community comes together to network, discuss ideas, and share information we are all better for it. The Forum intends to make full use of social media, public networking events, and its website to enable those objectives.

AADD provides support to individuals, generally ages 50 years and older, with developmental disabilities. The goal is to assist individuals with maintaining their independence and support them in continuing to be active members of their communities. Available Supports Education AADD staff educates individuals, families, caregivers, employers, support workers, professionals and the community, in the varying issues and needs facing the aging with developmental disabilities population. Education is an essential element in ensuring that needs are recognized, understood, and met. AADD staff provides education through seminars, speaking engagements, an annual conference, and individual assistance and referral services to both individuals aging with disabilities and developmental disability organizations. Transition to Retirement A person with a developmental disability, like anyone else, has the option of retirement from their life in the workforce. However, individuals with a developmental disability may not look forward to retirement. The reasons vary, but include economic loss, loss of socialization and friendships, isolation, and boredom. Each person's needs, interests, and fears are different. AADD staff work individually with our consumers to assist with this transition from employment to a fulfilling retirement. Staff conduct individualized assessments and develop transition plans. Transition plans are driven by the wants and needs of the individual, with input from family members and others who know the person well. Each retirement plan is custom designed and may also include supports for family members. Retirement Groups One option in meeting the needs of individuals in retirement is participation in a support group. Senior support groups meet at local senior centers and provide opportunities to learn about issues important to seniors, socialize with others of similar backgrounds, and develop lasting, caring, supportive relationships. AADD staff support our consumers with participating in these groups. In-Home Support In addition to community involvement and activities, individuals may also have a need for support in their home. These supports may include someone to assist with bill paying, shopping, meal preparation and cooking, housekeeping, personal care and hygiene, medication administration, problem solving, or other individualized needs. Depending on the need, AADD staff may directly provide these supports or assist in locating the needed resources. Off-Site Day Habilitation Services With state, County and City of St. Louis funding, AADD provides individualized one on one support to individuals in accessing their community.

On June 12th, 2011, Stephen West suffered severe head trauma during a tragic automobile accident and passed away June 13th. Stephen was one of the most kind and genuine individuals anyone could meet and was called a friend by everyone. To celebrate his life, Stephen's family and friends have established a 501(3)(c), a non-for profit foundation. This foundation was established in Stephen’s name to create opportunities to help students with their education and to give back to the educational institutions, which helped form Stephen into the person he was. The foundation has established an endowment with Rockhurst University for a scholarship named the Stephen M West Memorial Scholarship. The foundation has also presented over $30,000 to St. Joan of Arc School with tuition assistance since 2014. The foundation has set aside half of our goal with the hope of presenting a check to CBC High School this year to create a scholarship. Stephen was a 2003 graduate of St. Joan of Arc school in St. Louis, a 2007 graduate of CBC High School in St. Louis, and a 2011 graduate of Rockhurst University in Kansas City, Missouri with a Bachelor’s of Science in Business Administration, and he was enrolled in the MBA program at Rockhurst University at the time of his accident. He was an active member on campus at Rockhurst as an Ambassador giving tours, as the President of the Financial and Accounting Student Body, and as a very active member in his fraternity, Pi Kappa Alpha.

LASM acheived its nonprofit status in 2009 and is proud to be a vital and growing ministry.
