Call from Santa - 2020 virtual Holiday Gathering
Once again I was reminded that it doesn’t matter what you do to reach out, as long as you DO SOMETHING - IT MATTERS!
“That was such a wonderful experience! Really... saying thank you doesn’t do it justice.I really hoped you could see how happy my son was. He was really into it.That was his only Santa experience this season, and I wasn’t sure how I was going to make something work. It was so special.”
“Friendship among very young children and children with disabilities is not only possible, but beneficial. With support and encouragement from adults, young children with and without disabilities can form connections that not only provide enjoyment, but help promote their growth and development in multiple domains.”
