Charles Webb Center Charleston SC


Tempers flared and tears flowed Thursday as desperate parents brainstormed for a strategy to keep the Charles Webb Center for special needs children open past Dec. 31, 2008.

Four other centers funded for special needs in other regions also were eliminated. How can we continue to build prisons and not take care of our most needy citizens Can you help today
