I am a mother to three healthy growing boys ranging from 8 to 14 years old. Each of my children has some type of learning disability which we have dealt with as they appeared. Max, our youngest, seems to be the biggest challenge; he has a speech and language problem that is impairing his reading. This is affecting his learning in school.

Having the chance to send Max to camp at the “Friendly Faces” at the YM-YMHA has been a great benefit to my family. Max is getting a great camp to go to. He was happy and content at the end of the day. He is getting help when taken out to work with a skilled speech therapist. It is reasonably priced which is helpful in a big way. It is hard enough trying to afford therapy during the year for us.

All I can say is thank you from the bottom of my heart for giving my child this opportunity. We, as parents, try our best to give our kids all the help they need but sometimes we need assistance. Thanks for all the Tikun Olum! Hoping next year will be just as amazing.
