My Husband of 56 yrs had Parkinsons disease. Unfortunately he passed away before he was able to become involved with SongShine. I saw him have trouble with speech and eventually lose most of his ability to speak.
I became a volunteer for SongShine and personally watched people with similar afflictions learn to use their voice in song and restore their speech abilities. It has helped people with other neurological issues such as stroke also.
My hope is that the name SongShine reaches people far and wide. The brilliance of the directors, the effort of the kind and giving staff and what they have achieved for so many is tantamount to a miracle and adds so much value to their lives.
