The Impact
“We’ve been so pleased with his caregivers and his nurses. They really do care. Coming to Hattie Larlham was the difference between us doing for him what we could do well and now doing for him what he really needs, and what he really wants. For Elijah, it’s given him a lot of independence not being tethered to us.”
-John & Julie Koenig,
Elijah’s parents
"The more we learned about Hattie Larlham, the more I felt like it would be the best fit. It was Hattie’s mission for these kids to live a life of play and of joy. One of my favorite things is Sephora getting on her bike during therapy sessions. That’s her playfulness, her joy. I love that she has that.”
-Rebacca Toman,
Sephora’s mother
