Review for Washburn Center for Children, Minneapolis, MN, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

I have served on several Boards but none that spoke to the heart as much as Washburn Center for Children. It can be most difficult for people to understand the needs of a child when the illness can not be seen. It is easy to recognize the need for a hearing aid, or food, or clothing, however the need for mental help is often gone without notice. Without the help of Washburn more children would go through life with less happiness and more pain due to trauma. I have seen first hand the results of healing due to the care of the Washburn team and I thank God for their work. Susan St. James
