It's a chance for these kids to be the center of attention in a very positive way. |
Many organizations focus on providing therapeutic care. We offer love, companionship, friendship and activities that are child-driven. Teens can reach children in ways that professionals, or even family members, cannot. The program also has a profound effect on the teenagers themselves by instilling within them the values of giving and gratitude. |
The Friendship Circle teens give the children unconditional love, companionship and friendship during weekly visits and group gatherings. Both child and teen are touched by the special bond that forms. |
We're amazed and very appreciative of the community's outpouring of support. The money raised will allow us to expand the program so more special needs kids can take part. |
