For 15 years, Widza and Cedric Bryant have searched for a way to keep their sons together for before and after school care sessions.
Vladimir Bryant, now 15, has physical special needs that prevent him from attending the same care services as his twin brother. To fill the need and ease the pain the family knows all too well, Widza and Cedric set out to create a service where kids with physical special needs and their siblings can go together before and after school.

“For 15 years, I have looked for a place where Vladimir could interact with other children,” Widza said.
This lack in the area compelled the couple to create the Vladimir Bryant Foundation and run a before and after school program for that very purpose. Their vision is culminating with a program located at the Levittown Church of God at 571 Levittown Parkway in Bristol Township.
To aid the special before and after school program, the foundation cut the ribbon on the new playground at the church Saturday afternoon. All of the equipment was bought at auction from the closing Bristol Township schools and was acquired for $20.

The program will consist of a number of activities for kids to participate in, like reading time, homework help, outdoor recreation and older kids can learn quality of life skills and pre-employment transition skills.
The program will have an open house from Monday through Friday for prospective parents to come to the facility and begin the registration process.
