I just wanted you guys to know about this place. It's a wonderful place for anyone with any kind of disability's. Gordon Hartman was a very successful homebuilder here in the SA area, and this is the story of his daughter, Morgan. If you or someone you know has disabilities (or not :) ) it's a great place to visit.
He took $1 million of his own money, raised an additional $29 million, and built the theme park.
"Morgan's Wonderland, a 25-acre oasis of fun for children and adults with special needs in San Antonio, Texas, grew out of an incident Gordon Hartman witnessed.
His 16-year-old daughter Morgan – for whom the park is named – has a severe cognitive delay. One day some years ago, he observed her watching other children who were playing in a pool. He knew she wanted to join them, but because of the girl's inability to communicate properly, she couldn't.
For the former real estate developer, it was a defining moment, inspiring him to create a place where the words 'couldn't', 'shouldn't' and 'can't' weren't part of the vocabulary."

You'd think, being something very personal to her, she'd do a little to help. With her draw, surely she could do more good working within that community than she can accomplish doing what she's doing. Just goes to show you where her heart truly is.
