Entering our 12th year, The Michael Carter Lisnow Respite Center is a place that provides emotional and physical support for individuals with disabilities and their families.

Located in Hopkinton, Massachusetts, the Center has served over 200 families and couldn't have done it without the support of many and the inspiration given to us by the life and memory of Michael Carter Lisnow.

Your generosity has helped many families. Michael's story reflects many of the same things experienced by our families. We ask that you take a moment to read Michael's story, view our efforts through images in our photo gallery, learn about the programs we have available, and understand how many see that the true legacy of Michael is not just the house itself, but it is the wisdom he gave us and the ability to know how to help when others can't.

Michael and his mother, Sharon, co-founder of the center.
