It is always heart warming to see a child or adult master a task which they have not been able to do before, whether it's due to a physical or emotional issue. These special moments and the joy in the faces of the participants and the volunteers is amazing. The children, at-risk youth, and veterans of North Texas who visit the center leave with a new awareness and strength which had previously not been realized.
