Mary Anne Spink, parent of a teenager with a disability“To our family s.p.a.c.e has been a welcoming community, which we’ve never quite felt before. We feel ownership and belonging. It is an extention of home, a place of sharing of gifts, friendships, trials and achievemnts. It’s not just bricks and mortar; it is body and soul.
