One mom’s quest to help her own son with special needs is now helping so many others in the community.
A Chinese-owned embroidery business is making a huge difference in the South Bay. Sherry Meng says she came to the United States back in 1988 with her husband, went to school and started a family. When she discovered her son was autistic, she began helping other special needs students and that led to her running her own business. "When my son was three years old, Friends of Children with Special Needs helped me," said Meng.
After she and her husband invested about $200,000 in the company, she began a partnership with three local school districts, including Campbell Union High School District, to provide job training.Meng says the school districts use their own funding to pay students, and they work with equipment that simplifies the embroidery process. Longtime customer David Rodger says he too has an autistic son, but it’s the quality work that led him to Turtleworks.
