Thanks for helping LEO


June 13, 2012 · 10:20 AM

The Board of Directors of Life Enrichment Options (LEO) would like to thank the caring citizens of Sammamish for their contributions that made our dream of a home for young adults with developmental disabilities come true.

The new house, named the Angela House after founding board member Angela Dews, will open sometime late this summer allowing five young adults to take first steps into independent living.

Special thanks go to our partners Polygon Homes Northwest, Milbrandt Assoc. and Port Blakely Communities for their extraordinary contributions.

However, even with their support, the home could not have been built without contributions from all the many individuals who gave from their hearts over several years to make the home a reality. It is a wonderful example of how working together we can achieve great things.

Thank you all!

Nancy Whitaker, President, LEO Board of Directors
