What Does Special Kids Mean to You?

A Special Kids supporter comments:

After I took a tour of the facilty, I wanted to help. It is heart rendering to see these children make advances. It is a fantastic thing to help these children gain skills.  

Emily Pegg, a Team ASK competitor comments on what her child partner means to her:

I love having a child partner, because it makes the running about more than just me. Sometimes I think all the hours I train and run could be seen by others as being selfish. I could spend that time doing other things--cleaning my house, extra time with my children, more time to volunteer. By being a part of Team ASK, I have turned something I love into something that benefits others.

Karen Horsby, a Team ASK competitior comments on what Team ASK means to her:

Team ASK is not about any particular road race, or any particular runner. It's all about the VERY special children of God that are served every day at Special Kids. Thanks to all the administrative staff and employees for their tireless devotion to seeing that the needs of these children are met.

Family Testimony:

"No matter how bad things were, we did not fall apart and we were not crushed under the weight of our circumstances. God's hands are still holding us today through the prayers of His faithful messengers, family support, and services provided by the Special Kids staff and therapists."

Family Testimony:

"It is tremendously heartwarming to go into a place where you know your child is going to be treated with respect."

Family Testimony:

"My child was at SK from 20 months old to 3 years 3 months. He looked forward to seeing his therapists every week. It is remarkable how well he has overcome the delays he had to start with. Thank you!"

Community Testimony:

"The thing that strikes us about Special Kids is that Special Kids also roots its ministry in that 2,000 year old ministry of healing and sees itself, in some ways, as partnering with God in the care of others...And so, given the kind of care that Special Kids is a part of, the tremendous need they are meeting, and in many ways, how they are the only ones on the front line, we though it was just being a good steward of our resources and our mission to partner, so we really see this as a beginning!"
