"Real generosity towards the future lies in giving all to the present." --Albert Camus
When nine-month-old Jonathan Barzach died from spinal muscular atrophy, his parents -- Amy and Peter -- grieved heavily. As they searched for ways to heal and for ways to celebrate their son's life, they remembered seeing a little girl in a wheelchair at a local playground sadly watching the other children play. Deeply inspired, the Barzach family led a community-wide effort to develop Jonathan’s Dream -- a 'boundless' playground where children of all abilities can laugh, play and grow together. In five years, they have designed 54 such playgrounds and have 100 more in the works!
