“The impact of S.M.I.L.E.<\/strong> is very high because all our residents have so many types of personality and no matter the level of their ability, the volunteers have made each resident feel loved and accomplished. \u00a0The families of each resident love to hear about and see the craft projects that they have accomplished. \u00a0Families are so pleased their loved ones participate on a regular basis and enjoy seeing their project creations.”<\/p>\n
