Build Jake’s Place was founded in 2009 in memory of “Baby Jake” Nasto, a two-and-a-half-year-old who passed away due to a rare heart disorder. The organization designs playgrounds that allow children using wheelchairs and other assistive devices to play alongside their peers effortlessly. These inclusive spaces are also accessible to parents and grandparents with disabilities, fostering an environment where everyone can join in the fun and interaction.
For the past two years, Modivcare Foundation has provided funding to Build Jake’s Place to support the creation of these inclusive play areas. This year, the foundation is donating
