Today at the pool I was talking to one of my "swim" buddies, whom I only know from the water... She was telling me about her "special needs daughter." I asked if her daughter goes to the activities run by Shalva, where my sons volunteered when in high school.
"No," she said. "My daugher goes to Shaare Marpeh every day from 5-7pm. She gets dinner and speech therapy. It is really wonderful."
I couldn't believe it. In less than 24 hours I heard two stories about this charity, which I had never heard of before.
