Respite
Care of San Antonio - San Antonio, TX
On September
20, during the Valero Texas Open at La Cantera, PGA TOUR Wives
Association members spent a fun-filled day playing with preschoolers
from Respite Care. Their first stop was the Build-A-Bear Workshop
where children built their very own teddy bear and dressed
them in golf clothes. From there, everyone went back to Respite
Care to enjoy a picnic lunch on the playground and then frosted
and decorated teddy bear sugar cookies.
Respite
Care of San Antonio's primary objective is to provide respite
services to families caring for a child with developmental
disabilities. This service provides relief for families caring
for a child with disabilities; the families may bring their
child for a brief stay to provide a break from the round-the-clock
demands of caring for their child with special needs. In 1997,
it opened the Davidson Respite House, the state's first and
only agency licensed to provide temporary care for children
with developmental disabilities who were taken into state
protective custody.
