The Broom Tree families of children who have special needs could benefit from one more option during the summer. LSUA and Calvary were both gracious enough to host the camps but the dream of creating a stand-alone place had been planted. Jake’s Place will serve as a physical location for so much of what The Broom Tree has been providing for years – hosting summer camps, pop up therapies, family gathering nights, caregiver meet-ups and much more! The hope is to also offer an option for families of children with special needs to have private, stress-free birthday parties and gatherings of their own, opportunities to have field trip options for our local Special Education classes, and host weekly morning mom & me play times. The Broom Tree is proud to offer grants of up to $1,000 per person to support local families with children who have disabilities. These grants are designed to assist with financial support for travel expenses, including gas and hotel stays for out-of-town doctor appointments, we also help with the purchase of essential items and services, such as adaptive strollers, medical equipment, seating devices, and more.
