Thank you to everyone who has provided and prayed for our sweet Daphne. When we put out the call for assistance in February, we had no idea the amount of love and support that would come in for her.

Daphne
Every time I walk into the house, she is the first child I look for. Last April was the first time I saw Daphne. She was propped in a highchair, almost completely unresponsive.

We've learned that the young ones need a little extra time to acclimate to the routine of school and get comfortable with their teachers. As with preschoolers around the world, there are excited smiles from some, and a few tears from others.
