Care of himself he likes to play by himself and play on the iPad and put a blanket over his head you know and he’s he’s happy you know come on let’s go shopping obviously this is the place to be on Sunday afternoon the Sunbeam groups they’ve been very supportive help us find

Counselors if we need it they help us with school supplies if we need it they’re just there if you need need to call them you know all of them are going through the same thing and all of us are dealing with kids that have problems it

Got more than they’ll probably need but everybody left there got more than they Needed

On December 10th, the Thunder partnered with @Sunbeam Family Services to give families a Christmas surprise they would never forget.
