Thank you for helping children in need!
Your gift provides healing & hope to abused children with medical and special needs in Respite Care’s shelters.- Because of your support, children with special needs develop, blossom and reach their maximum potential.
- Your contribution is a blessing to families caring for a child with special needs. Respite Care’s day/evening out sessions give relief that lowers stress, strengthens families and reduces the risk of child abuse.
