Awards and Grants

Patients

Among our most treasured awards are the handmade cards, pictures and gifts from our children. Some hang on our refrigerator held by magnets that were a gift from one of the Speech Therapists with whom we work. Others are carefully preserved for days when we need encouragement.

Donors

Ovelle and Prairie’s work scarves bear the names of special people (even dogs) whose memory family or friends want to “live” through the work that Ovelle and Prairie do with special needs children. In other cases, the scarves bear the names of living individuals (even dogs) that family and friends want to honor through the work Ovelle and Prairie do. Most everyday someone will ask who that person is and we are always pleased to share how that person has touched our lives.
