Elizabeth Needs Your Help

Elizabeth has been invited to attend Heshmia full time for additional therapy and a full day of developmental instruction. This would be a GREAT opportunity for her! However, there are a number of costs, which include transport to and from (we live way "out") and additional personnel to go with her. Please consider sponsoring Elizabeth's therapy. The total cost for all of her needs is $75 per month. 

If you are interested, please go to the "Donate" page of our HCO website (http://www.hischerishedones.org/donations) and be a part of making a difference in this little girl's life!!

Elizabeth has made HUGE progress in the past few months, and most specifically in the past month. We would love to provide her with the opportunity to continue that. Not only has Elizabeth learned to sit unassisted, she is gaining control and able to sit for longer periods of time. I cannot tell you what this does for the little girl's motivation! She loves the cheers she gets when we watch her sit and play, and she loves the independence of being able to sit like the other older babies.  

  (This was taken just after she pulled herself up from a face-down position after falling forward. Not only can she sit, she can get herself into the sitting position.)

Our new caretaker, Anne, who was hired as a temporary/substitute staff to cover while the other girls take leave, loves to try new things with Elizabeth. I think it was a good thing that she came in later and did not even know or realize the limitation Elizabeth came with. She has even taught Lizzy how to hold herself up to look out the window and watch the goats from her bed!


Thanks for your continued prayers for little Lizzy! Let me know if you would like to help with her therapy!
