Beyond the Wall

It is a bright, sunny day at Vista Del Mar Child and Family Services. In her office, medical director Dr. Susan Schmidt-Lackner is sitting on the floor with one of her young patients — not an easy feat for a tall woman in a long skirt, but the doctor is more interested in the little boy than in her own comfort. The child\’s mother, seated nearby, recounts her concerns, such as how her son can\’t tolerate the texture of most foods and is subsisting on a diet of McDonald\’s Happy Meals.

Problems and Promise

Just off Motor Avenue in West Los Angeles, about where cars shoot out from under the 10, a simple sign points the way onto the campus of Vista del Mar Child and Family Services. Go fast and you\’ll miss the sign and the 17.5 acres beyond it of bungalows, recreation areas and service buildings.

Holiday Toy Drive

Vista Del Mar and Family Services and DIVE! restaurant are teaming up for a holiday toy drive. Bring an unwrapped toy to the Century City restaurant between Nov. 28 and Dec. 22, and you\’ll receive 10 percent off your total lunch or dinner check.
