Children’s Village Expansion Photos
July 28, 2009
The scaffolding is multiplying as Moen Construction and the incredible cadre of subcontractors continue to expand Children’s Village. The pictures don’t begin to capture the heights that the constructions workers are now working at. Gazing up, you can imagine the fear that must be felt working at those heights… the criss-cross of scaffolding provides structure, support and stability for the workers.
Parents of children with special needs tell us that when their awareness of their child’s needs occurs, either at birth, diagnosis of a medical condition or when their gut tells them that something is not right with their child, it feels as if the ground has been pulled out from under them. They are unable to breath at times.
Parents tell us that Children’s Village gives them the “grounding” or “scaffolding” to get through the most challenging times. When you are a parent of a child with special needs, those times continue throughout your child’s life, at each change or transition there are new difficulties. Additional “scaffolding” is needed. That scaffolding includes more trained professionals, funding for services and the physical space to provide that service.
Our community is working to provide the scaffolding for children and families through the expansion of Children’s Village. Thank you for being a part!
