The Mary Therese Rose Fund was established to provide therapeutic care and fun to the special needs population cared for at the Kireker Center for Child Development, an outpatient facility of the Valley Hospital in Ridgewood, NJ. In addition to assisting families with unreimbursed medical expenses, the fund also allows these children to enjoy the fun experienced by those in their age group. Therapeutic horseback riding, dancing, music, art, yoga are only a few of the activities offered through the fund to these children.
Each year The Mary Therese Rose Fund helps families pay for needed equipment like orthotics, braces, and standers. It also funds activities such as horseback riding that are therapeutic and brighten the lives of these special kids. It is the goal of The Mary Therese
Rose Fund to help these special children reclaim some of the simple joys of childhood denied them by their disabilities.
