HOUSE OF LOVE FOR CHILDREN WITH CEREBRAL PALSY

If you have something to do, someone to love and something to hope for, everyday becomes a celebration!

The House of Love is a residential unit, started in 2004, that provides full-time care for orphans with cerebral palsy. These children have a more difficult time of being adopted into a forever family, and so this unit was created to provide a loving home environment. The children receive individualized physical therapy, quality education, and specialized care to help them achieve their highest potential.

ABOUT CEREBRAL PALSY

Cerebral palsy is a medical condition caused by a permanent brain injury that occurs before, during, or shortly after birth. The primary characteristic of cerebral palsy is a lack of muscle control and movement. Cerebral palsy is not a progressive disease; however, the effects have been known to change over time.

Cerebral palsy may cause a number of symptoms, including seizures, spasms, visual and hearing problems, hyperactivity, and learning disorders. There is not a cure; however several therapies are available for the treatment of cerebral palsy. Although living with cerebral palsy can be difficult, it is certainly possible to be successful while coping with the disorder.
