I am writing to you today as a mother of a special needs child. The difficulties involved in raising a child with such special needs are many: Constant attention, supervision and medical care are required 24/7, with some days being more challenging then others.
A few years ago a new light began to shine in my daughters' life. Thank G-d, a group of caring individuals came together to form an organization that helps families like mine. Since volunteers from The Friendship Circle have begun visiting my daughter, she is a different person. My daughter now has what she always dreamed of. A friend. They bring such joy to her day, it melts my heart.
