Funds raised will go towards the building of a purpose built  facility to house over 25 special needs children and their single parent mothers who would otherwise be homeless.

The benefits of Featherstale are endless for the guardians and children alike…

• Having a small community where parents with special needs children can live with one another is initially a way for both the parent/guardians to have support from one another, given they are sharing in the same experiences in life to some degree
• Like wise, the children who never get to socialize with other special needs children, have daily interactions with others in the same position physically and mentally as they are…
• When parents need to do simple tasks, perhaps wash clothing, go shopping, cook or even work… then they are surrounded by people who are qualified to care for a special needs child, people who have the patience and understanding to care for such children, given they too are the parents and guardians of a child with special needs.
• The childrens funds social worker can keep a constant check on the children, and their guardians to ensure their well being both mentally and physically.
• Children don’t need to separated from mothers that love them.
• As the community will be placed next to the children’s home, emergency transport for medical issues is always available, where as with out it most children are close to an hour from a hospital, at night time that could be 8 hours +, as all our residents would have to wait for the public transport to start.
• Children receive physio, wheelchairs, sensory stimulation.. rather than being left on the floor somewhere..
• There are many more benefits, but these are key… lastly an perhaps more importantly, finally single parents with such children will have an option, and hopefully in time less special needs children will be abandoned here by desperate parents in need of help…
