Sakhtivel and sis Sakhtivel is one of the children that SCORD helps with their CMH program. His medication is paid for and his family is given help and instruction in physical and emotional therapy. His mother passed away a few years ago, his father is a seasonal laborer that can barely feed the family let alone pay for his son’s medication. His three sisters help ease the daycare burden, impeding their studies and/or wage earning potential. Mike and I tried to help SCORD with communicating and grant writing to fund a daycare/ special education center that would provide a healthy and safe environment for special needs children in the area that would allow families to know their children are taken care of while they can then in good conscious pursue their own education or earn more income. For Sahktivel’s family’s sake, and many more like them, we hope the funding comes through.
