benefiting
The
Moriarty Family
The Moriarty
family needs your help! They have three children severely
affected by Autism, which has left all three children unable
to speak. Their daughter, Kaitlyn, is 9 years old. The twin
boys, Timothy Jr. and Matthew are 7 yrs old. The family has
lost everything, even their home, due to the expensive
therapies that go along with caring for these children. They
are currently living in a basement without even
a shower. They are having difficulty finding a place to live
due the ensuing credit issues. Dad works hard to support his
family, but the family is living paycheck to paycheck.
Please search your heart and consider helping us raise money
to help secure a rental home for this family!

camaraderie and feel a sense of belonging.
Our programs provide
trained mentors to assist children with special needs and are designed to provide a
noncompetitive and supportive environment that accommodates children of all ability
levels. Please contact us at mvtpec@aol.com
