Welcome to Samantha’s House.

We are a 501c3 charitable foundation with a mission: Help people who are trapped both physically and financially due to serious injuries or disabilities by improving their surroundings to make their life a little easier.

Corporate Sponsors

The foundation chooses deserving people that have everyday life challenges due to their injuries or disabilities and current living conditions that are not conducive to their unique needs. With the help of individuals like you, the community and our corporate sponsors, we raise money to support building fully handicapped accessible homes and/or handicapped accessible vans. This allows the individual or families lives to become a little easier.

Who was Samantha Allen?

Who was Samantha Allen and why did so many people want to help her? If you ever had the privilege to meet Samantha in person you would know the answer to the second part of that question.

Mia

Mia’s strength continues to amaze me. She has overcome more obstacles than a person would care to face in a lifetime.

Darius

Darius is greatful for his life, his family, close friends and a host of new friends that he’s met along this journey.

Dawson

Cerebral Palsy cannot stop a straight-A student with a great sense of humor and a mission.

Updates
