Favorite Teacher:
"3rd Grade, Mrs. Winkler. I always loved school, but she made it magical."
Care to Learn Memory:
"I recently heard about a story of two children with physical disabilities who were sharing an adult-sized wheelchair. I have a daughter with physical disabilities who very much relies on her wheelchair 24/7. This need hit home deeply. I cannot imagine how these sweet children must have felt without having this essential piece of equipment, let alone sharing it with each other. I am so grateful that Care to Learn was able to partner with the school district to provide each of them with their very own wheelchair. They must have felt absolutely ecstatic and like a completely new child after that." - Andrea
