GEORGETOWN, Texas -- Erin Kiltz was worried
about what her daughter, a Georgetown High School student who has a
severe brain injury and cannot walk or talk, was going to do after she
finished high school.
"
Its the No. 1 fear of a parent of a special-needs child," Kiltz said, that "she will outlive me, and what will her future hold."
Kiltz did something about that fear. About a
year ago, she established a nonprofit program that gives adults with
learning and physical disabilities a job during the day, doing such
things as making granola and pottery in free rooms donated by the
Georgetown Church of Christ.
