Our mission is to bring happiness and companionship to children with special needs in a way that celebrates, rather than laments, their uniqueness and individuality; To impart renewed strength, comfort and peace of mind to the parents of these special children; To foster the values of altruism, volunteerism and sacrifice among maturing teenagers; To heighten the community's awareness, sensitivity and sense of responsibility with regard to responding to these vital needs. The underlying creed of the program is that every child is a precious soul worthy of love, laughter, nurturing and connection.
