On a quiet Sunday evening, in mid-October, devastation hit our entire ELADC family. While everyone was at home with their families staying safe from COVID-19, our building suffered a terrible fire. The fire damaged the roof, walls, windows, and office equipment. The entire building has also sustained major smoke and water damage. if you would like to donate to aid us in the restoration of our building please click here.
Our Day Programs in the office have been halted since the Coronavirus closed our doors in late March. Daily updates regarding the current state of the virus and various NM announcements are available on https://cv.nmhealth.org and https://nmhealth.org/about/ddsd.
