Yesterday, at SECHILD Center, Isaiah gave us such a sweet moment.

During therapy, he was lying on the mat when a football match came on TV. And instantly, his whole face lit up! His eyes followed the ball, he showed excitement, and for a while, nothing else mattered but the game. ⚽

Isaiah loves football, always has, always will. Seeing him so happy and focused reminded us that even small things can bring so much joy.

For children like Isaiah, moments like this are victories. They show us that therapy isn’t just about exercises, it’s about connection, happiness, and celebrating every little spark.

💚 Keep shining, Isaiah. You show us every day how beautiful joy can be.

A Visit That Turned Into Something More

This morning, one of our regular vendors dropped by the SECHILD Center. He’s the guy who keeps our refrigerators, AC units, and even our mini cold machine running smoothly. Yep, that’s right, we have a small cold machine where we sell ice blocks 💧 (and yes, every little bit goes toward caring for our children!).

He came in to check a fridge in the kitchen that wasn’t closing properly and to inspect the AC in our salon (yes, we have a hair beauty salon too! 😄 Proceeds from the salon also help with the upkeep of our children).

But then something unexpected happened… on his way out, he wandered through our therapy area where the children were watching TV.

And he just sat down.

Minutes turned into almost an hour as he watched, listened, and asked question after question:
“Will the children be healed? Where are their parents? How do you do this? What is the cause?”

He was completely captivated by the children. It was so heartwarming, he almost forgot the AC was still waiting! 😄 We reminded him after answering all his questions.

Moments like this remind us that awareness, compassion, and connection often start in the simplest ways, a pause, a smile, a shared moment that changes how we see the world. 💚

Yesterday’s hug reminded us why we do what we do.

Good Morning from SECHILD!

This warm embrace between our founder (in lemon ) and a visitor (in purple ) reminds us of the beautiful bonds that make our journey so meaningful.

Just yesterday, this lovely visitor shared that she celebrated her birthday at the SECHILD Center over a decade ago, back when we were still at C Close in Trademore Estate, around the same time we had just rescued our Star Boy. Hearing her story filled the room with emotion, and this heartfelt hug captured the love, gratitude, and connection that continue to define our mission.

As we welcome a new day, we carry these moments with gratitude and hope, inspired by how far we’ve come and the lives we continue to touch.

May today be your reason to rise, to give a hug, or to be hugged.

All week, we’ve been wrapped up in joy, still celebrating our incredible Founder and President, a woman whose heart stretches wide enough to hold visions bigger than dreams. 💖

Her birthday was on November 1st, and just when we thought the celebrations were winding down, today came with a surprise that made everyone smile,
a sweet belated birthday message from our dear friends and partners, The Engraced Ones, plus packs of diapers, exactly what our celebrant wished for! 🍼😄

Sometimes love shows up softly but lands deeply. Thank you, The Engraced Ones, for the thoughtfulness, the kindness, and for making our celebration even more beautiful. ❤️

A Note from the Founder’s Desk

This evening, as I reflect on the day at SECHILD, my heart is full. I had the privilege of sitting with one of our children at the activity table, and what began as a simple game quickly became a reminder of why SECHILD exists.

As we laughed and tugged playfully at a bib, I saw more than just a child at play, I saw determination, resilience, and the pure joy that comes when a child feels safe, supported, and loved. In that moment, I was reminded that every small interaction carries the power to build confidence and unlock potential.

When I founded SECHILD, my dream was to create a place where children with cerebral palsy are not defined by their challenges, but celebrated for their abilities. Today, watching that smile light up the room, I knew we are living that dream.

To our caregivers, families, and supporters,
you are the backbone of this mission. Together, we are proving that inclusion is not just a word, but a way of life.

As the day ends, I carry with me the joy of that child’s laughter, and the conviction that every child deserves the chance to shine. 💚
