The Mary Therese Rose Fund allows children to "reclaim the joys of childhood".  There are many children with disabilities that require certain needs to be able to make life even more of a pleasure.  The fund pays for such expenses that insurance does not cover.  This includes hearing aids, walkers, wheel chairs, braces, and even therapeutic activities such as therapeutic horseback riding.  Just as Mary was able to enjoy her life to the fullest and have a memorable childhood despite her limitations, the fund's mission is to assist in enabling special needs children to reach this goal. 

      The Mary Therese Rose Fund assists children from the Valley Hospital in Ridgewood, New Jersey.  It is with great pleasure that such children could cherish their valuable childhoods and be able to flourish in development.
