Description

“Well, they stayed at home, okay, the individuals stayed home.” Mrs. Leona Receveur wished her daughter, who had a disability, could attend school. When Mrs. Receveur tried to find a school for her daughter, she was told to start her own school. Mrs. Receveur asked public health nurses to spread the word to other parents about her effort to develop a school for children with disabilities. Her dream came true when she found a church that agreed to host the school in their basement. With the $1000 Mrs. Receveur received from Crusade for Children, she was able to purchase a bus to go around town to pick up children for school. Sandy was interviewed in August, 2014.
