Turtle Wing Foundations 12th year comes to a close. With the mission of "helping individuals with learning challenges in rural areas achieve their full potential by providing access to a shared network of emotional, educational, and therapeutic resources", the year has been one of true growth. From additional programs and providers, to serving more families, the foundation has worked every day to make sure that no family goes unassisted.
