About Us

  

Our Team

   MSNF is made up of working and retired mothers and fathers who volunteer their time to try to help children with special needs the best way they can. They have come together from all walks of life and bring a multitude of experience and a need in all of us to help children and parents who have children with special needs. Our office is in LaSalle, Quebec, but we service the island of Montreal. MSNF will offer support to those who ask and are eligible. Mentoring is also offered to everyone who needs it.
