“WWF is an integral part of our family; Cameron looks forward to going and crosses off the days on the calendar until the next visit. I don’t know how we would get by without WWF for Cameron’s growth & development as well as some relief for us as parents. Chloe wakes up frequently during the night. Many times, we find ourselves awake from 2am to 5am trying to get Chloe back to sleep. As parents of two children with special needs our days are not the same as a typical family. Some days we are awake from 2am and are up for the day, other days we struggle just to get through the day! The respite home is vital for our family” – Valerie and Dave Hodgins
