| Meet Jose... |
| Who could help but fall in love with our sweet Jose? Jose is a sixteen year old boy with very involved spina bifida. Jose is articulate & bright. He has had an extremely difficult life, having lost his mother eight years ago. He has since suffered from lack of care due to his father having to work to support the family and lacking the skills & knowledge of how to care for his child. Jose has a peace and a happiness about him that comes from a source greater than himself. He is truly an inspirational human being that is deeply touching the hearts of all who have met him. Please help this little angel live in in comfort and peace. |
