Sep 26, 2025 at 09:33 pm by WGNS News



PODCAST - On today’s featured podcast, WGNS host Scott Walker sits down with Angie Kleinau who shares the inspiring story behind Special Kids, a Christ-centered therapy and nursing center in Murfreesboro. Angie reflects on her late husband Dick Kleinau, his daughter Carrie, and their grandson Cody, whose rare genetic disease, Ataxia Telangiectasia, inspired the founding of Special Kids.

Also joining the conversation is Freda Morgan, who transitioned from the banking industry to dedicate her retirement years to serving children with special needs. Freda explains how Special Kids provides life-changing care and therapy—regardless of a family’s ability to pay.

This heartfelt episode explores legacy, compassion, and the powerful impact of a community coming together to serve its most vulnerable.
