A STORY FROM OUR AGENCY:
The Weisdorfer family used the Kearney Area Children's Museum as a safe outlet for play therapy as the family navigated the challenges of having a baby born with a half of heart. Avery's siblings were allowed to play and le their imaginations sore, they enjoyed playing in the medical exhibit reenacting the reality they saw with so many hospital visits, taking care of each other, dreaming of becoming doctors and nurses themselves. Avery was able to play, and dream as well in-between surgeries and appointments. She had a outlet to engage with her family and friends in a safe environment. Today the family share the special bond and impact KACM had on a very trying time in their lives.
