A Wonderful Cause for Paul to Consider - PLEASE!!!!
-
I went on and on about this place that offered their amazing dolphin experience to my special needs daughter, then my computer died. All I can say is this place is an amazing experience for children with disabilities, and I'd love to see Paul acknowledge. He's fortunate to have had healthy kids... others of us have had to endure pain and suffering for our special little ones. www.islanddolphincare.com It's simply an amazing organization who never asked me for a cent. Perhaps Paul could help them out....?

Many people here know about my little Amber. She was born with a piece of harmless fatty tissue that attached its nasty self to the bottom of her spinal cord. She underwent spinal cord surgery at 4mos. with no worries, but at 6 years old we found out that scar tissue formed from the surgery, and that nasty thing found it's way to attach to the cord again. It was a choice of surgery or eventual crippled. We chose the surgery. Well, after the 2nd surgery, she lost her ability to voluntarily urinate. Alhtough this sounds horrible, you can't even imagine what this little girl has been through. Urinary track infections that have put her in the hospital for weeks at a time. At one point, she wished herself dead. Watching her learn to stick a tube in her uretha up to her bladder and becoming totally independent by age 6 was surreal. She is amazing and could teach everyone here a thing or two about a tough life.... She's now 10 and caths herself 5 times a day. She wants to be a doctor and help little chldren when she grows up.
She's my hero. And the children that benefit from this place are all amazing kids with all odds against them. How lucky for everyone who never endures something like this. OK... now my story is out again.

(((Janet))), I did not know about Amber's health issue. Thank you for sharing her story with all of us. I am so sorry to learn of all that she has been through in her young life. I never cease to be amazed by the strength and resilience that young children demonstrate during these difficult times. Amber's story is touching and inspiring, and certainly one that needs to be told. I have no doubt that Amber is a pillar of inspiration amongst her peers. It is comforting to know that Island Dolphin Care has brought joy into Amber's life. Thank you for bringing this non-profit organization to the attention of others. Our thoughts and prayers are with Amber, and your family. http://churchofgodsingles.com/images/smiles/hug_smiley.gif[/img] [img]http://churchofgodsingles.com/images/smiles/hug_smiley.gif"/>
