Sarah Care… adult senior day program with true personal touch

Aysha Cooper is no ordinary business owner. For that matter, she is no ordinary mom, student or volunteer either. First and foremost, she is the best mom she knows how to be to her “almost 7” year old son.

One angel watches over a very special group of players who have received a scholarship in remembrance of a tiny fighter named Wyn Scott.
