Big DaveLegacy TrustA family. Six extraordinary children. A lasting promise.
Big Dave Legacy Trust exists to help meet the lifelong needs of six children with significant disabilities—and to build the accessible home their family needs now.
Trust-managed support • Dedicated to the children • Missouri
A home built around them
Not around their limitations.
Why we are here
Their parents work, advocate, coordinate care, and use every government and community resource available. Still, the practical and financial demands of raising six children with significant needs extend far beyond what any two parents can meet alone.
Meet the family
They share a home and a family, but each child has a distinct personality, different strengths, and needs that will change over time. The goal is not simply to provide care. It is to make room for each child to belong, grow, and experience a life shaped around who they are.
A family home where the children can live together, participate fully, and remain connected to the people who know them best.
Spaces, equipment, and support that help each child do more for themselves—with dignity and appropriate assistance.
A durable plan that can support the children through changing needs, adulthood, and whatever the future brings.
Land, construction, accessibility, and the specialized spaces the children require.
The new home
The family's current home cannot safely or practically meet the children's combined needs. The proposed home will be planned from the beginning around accessibility, supervision, durable materials, personal space, and the daily realities of caring for six children.

Our short film will introduce the children, show the realities of daily life, and explain why this home and long-term support matter.
A careful, accountable structure
Contributions are not simply handed to the family for unrestricted use. The Big Dave Legacy Trust provides a dedicated structure for managing resources and using them for the children's benefit.
Resources are held and administered through the Trust for the children and their qualifying needs.
The family actively uses needs-based government assistance and available community programs to their fullest practical extent.
The Trust can support the home project now and help address needs that traditional resources cannot cover over the children's lifetimes.
Ways to help
Financial support matters, but it is not the only way to help. A connection to a foundation, an accessibility resource, a contractor, a service program, or someone who understands this kind of project may be equally valuable.
Help fund a permanent, accessible home designed around the children's daily and lifelong needs.
