They help all children, regardless of finances, that need help learning how to communicate with the world. Whether it's teaching sign language or polishing off a small speech impediment they work on it. Anybody in the Billings area able to help, I urge you to. I donate what I can and urge all to. It's definitely a worthy cause.<br />n<br />n<strong>Try to help others. Consult their weaknesses, relieve their maladies; strive to raise them up, and by so doing you will most effectually raise yourself up also. Joseph B. Lightfoot</strong>
