Introduction

As I watch my 3-year-old daughter Megan happily go about her busy life, I often wonder what her future holds. Will she continue to enjoy the world and all it brings? Graduate from high school? Find a job? These are questions I do not heavily ponder with Megan’s two sisters Erin and Rachel. Megan has Down syndrome.

Like every parent of a special needs child, I believe that Megan will find a place in this world as she grows older. A group of parents in Shelby, had the same belief for their special kids, and they created that place: HarvestWorks.
