The Rural Property


We arrived at the rural property and entered thru the main gate. The front group of buildings were behind a brick wall with a steel gate. We were greeted by a scrawny dog, one of several animals that live on this farm like compound. A couple donkeys, some sheep, chickens, another dog and a goose wander the grounds.
Steve showed us the workshop where he makes small inexpensive wheel chairs for children. He also showed us another walled group of buildings to the back of the property that he plans to convert into living quarters where guests can stay. His idea is to have a place where families with special needs children can come and meet other families and learn how to care for their children. He hopes to encourage people to keep their special needs children by showing them how to care for them.
