Our roots go back to a small gathering of people that wanted to build and provide supports for a young man living with a severe disability. His name was Luke. His family started an supportive organization which became known as -
JUST FOR LUKE
Luke wanted them to share their learnings with other people.
So they started another organization -
JUST FOR FRIENDS OF LUKE
which has since become known as
JUST FOR FRIENDS
