We visited a small place in the next town we stay near that cares for about twenty or more handicapped children. They are very crowded in several tiny rooms, but the love of their caregivers, and the smiles on their faces tell quite a story! Our friends, Pete & Teena, have been working very hard to raise thousands of dollars for a new building outside the town, to look like a child's Castle! Someone donated a large piece of land, and the architect is working with all the builders totally FREE! His wife works with the children at the original place until the new one is ready. It will probably take two years to finish all the therapy rooms, and bedrooms to house at least 24 children who will sleep there. Others will be able to receive the therapy and exercise they also need on an out-patient basis. The new name of this place will be "Casa Conner" in honor of their 13 year old grandson who was severely handicapped, and died 2 years ago.
