Event co-chair and Steering Committee Chair of LiveSpecial.com, Elaine Eisner says, “We are so thankful for the community’s support around Something's Simmering, which will benefit LiveSpecial.com. LiveSpecial.com is going to help reduce the challenge of finding valuable resources for individuals with special needs in our community. This website would have been so helpful to me and my husband when we learned that our daughter had special needs. This is one reason why NCJW/Cleveland decided to take on this project.”
