“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
