To provide a responsive and direct resource to children in need so that they have the opportunity to achieve their greatest potential.
This is a story of the family in East Hartford that Cherish the Children has worked with for 3 years and is now realizing the dream of bringing their daughter home thanks to the incredible donations of time, talent, goods & services and money. The family consists of Mom, Dad, Anthony (15), Tiana (12) and Shaneece (5). When Shaneece was 15 months old their car was hit by another vehicle and Shaneece took the brunt of the accident. Since then, she has been in the Hospital for Special Care in New Britain. Shaneece suffered permanent injuries and is now a ventilator dependent quadriplegic. Shaneece is NOW able to go home to her family in a newly renovated addition to the family home which is constructed and designed to meet her all her special needs. She is a student in the East Hartford school system and is making huge strides in her speech and education. Thank you to Pesco Builders LLC for construction management and coordination of all the workers and generous donations from local vendors.
