"I first want to say that reading your stories today brought tears to my eyes. I am so sorry for your loss. My son xxxx is 8 yrs old and has had severe behavioural problems since he started school at 3 yrs old. He recently graduated from the Niagara Children Youth Services Day Treatment program. He will be going into grade 4 this September at an acedemic level around Senior Kindergarten. Behaviourly he has made drastic improvements. I want nothing more in this world but to have my son be "normal". I recieved the call today that your foundation is going to help my son attend a printing camp this summer highly recommended by his occupational therapist. I can not begin to explain how grateful I am for what you are doing for us. You are in my thoughts and prayers forever. "

Thank You SO much!
