How would you feel if you had a special needs baby and you had nowhere to turn?
Shaked has Down Syndrome, and has a ton of health problems.
We were so young when she was born. We felt all alone. We sat on buses for hours to seek help. We spent many more hours working with her at home on our own. The weight on our shoulders was so heavy …
At six months old, Shaked entered Perach Israel daycare center near our home. Imagine our surprise when the director told us that she would get all the services and treatments she needed right there! In one place!
I was afraid to leave her. Shaked was so tiny and fragile. Even when she was 20 months old, she seemed like a 4 week old baby. That’s how teeny she was.
We never looked back. In fact, we got a new lesson in life. We could finally breathe and know that Shaked was in good hands.
All kind of therapists work together in the daycare center. We feel the warm love and professional care from in every corner. In fact, it felt like Shaked was the only baby in the whole daycare because she got so much attention and love.
The Perach staff is magical.
Today Shaked is 3 years old and she doesn’t stop running. She’s making up for lost time and makes everyone chase her now!
We couldn’t have dreamed up a more dedicated, loving and professional group of people. In fact, our biggest worry was Shaked’s ‘graduation’ out of Perach and into a local preschool. None of us wanted to leave the Perach Miracle.
And now, thanks to you we don’t have to. You made our baby’s continued growth a sure thing!
Thank you so much for opening a Perach Israel preschool in our district this year! The whole family is excited! Thanks to you, Shaked could start preschool in September, make new friends and learn lots of new stuff.
