Avril Elizabeth Home for the Handicapped

General information

Her name was Avril Elizabeth. She was a bright, bubbly young girl who was struck down by encephalitis, an inflammation of the brain. When she recovered she had entered a twilight world, a world that she never left until her death eight years later.
Avril Elizabeth was on the waiting list for entry into the first home in Kensington, which was to house 21 intellectualy disabled children. Unfortunately she died before she was able to take up residence. After her death, the Home was named for her. Over thirty years later her name has become synonymous with outstanding care of the intellectualy disabled.
