The Problem

Two Communities Without a Home

Families are struggling. You can change that.

1 in 6

children now diagnosed with a developmental disability

And these children grow up.

At age 22, school services end. Most young adults with disabilities have nowhere to go—no community, no purpose, no belonging.

Arizona has over 1 million residents with disabilities. Weekday programs are rare, underfunded, and full.

"When my son aged out of school, we had no options. The waiting lists were years long. We felt invisible."
— APM Parent

188,000+

homeschooled students in Arizona

Zero taxpayer funding for athletics.

While public schools get tax dollars for facilities, homeschool families fund everything themselves. EVAC teams bounce from gym to gym—no consistency, no home court.

Families choose homeschooling for values, but sacrifice the athletic experience their kids deserve.

"We practice at a different gym every week. Our kids have never experienced a true home game."
— EVAC Coach

Meet Daniel

When Daniel turned 22, his school services ended overnight. His mom Sarah spent months searching for a day program—every one had a years-long waitlist.

"He went from a full schedule to sitting at home with nothing," Sarah says. "It broke my heart."

Daniel isn't alone. Across Arizona, thousands of young adults with disabilities face the same cliff—aging out of school into... nothing.

            Your gift doesn't just build a building.

            It gives Daniel—and dozens like him—a place to learn, belong, and thrive. Every single day.

Who We Are

Able Purpose Ministries was founded in 2025 by families who experienced the gap firsthand. We're building the weekday program we wish existed.

East Valley Athletes for Christ has built a thriving community of homeschool athletes—hundreds strong—but with no home court to call their own.
