Mental, Behavioral and Developmental Disorders
1.More likely to be in poor families.
2. Neighborhoods that lack support (play grounds)
3. Lack of Amenities (Sidewalks and Libraries)
4. Low or no Insurance
With these issues in the schools today, the teachers, administration and counselors are facing great challenges. From verbal and physical abuse and lack of respect for the staff. The lack of love, attention and time devoted to children by their parents is really sad. Children are faced with having to grow up too fast. So many have to fend and take care of themselves at such an early age.
Neighbor’s Love will do our best to help meet these needs from the physical, mental, spiritual and emotional challenges.
