CLOSER LOOK: Special Needs Families Get 'Buddy Breaks' With Nathaniel's Hope

Posted on Thursday, October 8, 2020 by Monika Kelly, ed Marya Morgan

Special Needs families frequently suffer isolation. Nathaniel's Hope trains churches to provide respite care. Volunteers learn to do crafts and play games with the children for 3-hour blocks of time. "There’s no better cup of cold water you can give to a family impacted by disability than a break," says NH and Buddy Break co-founder Marie Kuck. It starts, she says, with having a willing heart. "Tear down those walls and build friendships." K-LOVE's Monika Kelly reports.
