The Bergstedts' recent investment in the New Hope Foundation program offers lifelong care of a handicapped individual upon retirement, disability or death of his parent or guardian. This is possible through members' participation in an insured equity program and an endowment fund. Construction of the $3 million New Hope residential and outpatient building complex, is in progress, according to Bergstedt.

It should BE COMPLETED IN A FEW MONTHS. The complex will contain centers to provide full clinical, dental, therapeutic, educational and vocational and recreation activity areas, plus residential wings for members of the community. The facility is the first to be constructed in the nation and will provide both short and lifetime care for 200 handicapped children and adults. Eventually the facility will have residential accommodations for 400 persons. Bergstedt said the organization now has 500 members but only one patient awaiting admittance.

"A child doesn't necessarily have to take residence in one of their facilities," Bergstedt said. The guardian or disabled, retired r-1 REV help pay for care of the child, Bergstedt explained. Much of the financing of the Indianapolis complex is through grants, gifts and donations. Other charters are being started in St. Louis, and Illinois, Bergstedt said.

Bergstedt said if persons are interested in more detailed information, he can be reached at his home, 9543 Wicker Ave. (U.S. 41). Written information can be received by Raymond Laham of Mu-ltivest, International, Inc. at 61 N.

and Mrs. Robert Bergstedt of St. John believe they have found the answer. It is in the New Hope Foundation's $6.5 million care facility in Indianapolis. Their son, Kenneth, 14, has een paralyzed from the neck down a swimming accident four years ago.

He can get around by maneuvering an electric wheelchair equipped with chin controls. Five nights a week William DeMuth of Kahler Middle School tutors him. The family is awaiting a telephone hook-up to the middle school so Ken can communicate with five rooms of fellow classmates. "Cooperation with the Lake Central School District has been 100 per cent," Bergstedt said. Although Ken is mentally sharp, the physical handicap is always present.

The family doesn't want to rely too much on electronic devices in the hope that by requiring more physical ability, his shoulders and neck will develop more strength. Ken's body is rowing rapidly, in both directions, similar to other young teenagers. He needs physical assistance, though, which he re IP venientes inciuaing its individual utility room with washer and dryer; will have 2 bedrooms with walk-in closets and 2 baths.
