Finding Valerie in the extreme condition that she was in on March 16, 2006 was a
life changing experience for me. I truly feel that I was led to her - that she was
put in my path for a reason. In that moment I had to make a decision...was I going
to turn and walk away? Or was I going to try to help this child? The answer for
me was clear.
In a world so full of need, I truly believe that the children of The Valerie
Project represent the children in most need of our support and our love. They
are children that are born into this world 100% dependent on others for their
every need. They are children that are born into bodies that do not allow them
the freedom of movement and expression that we all take for granted. Often
they are bright souls trapped in uncooperative bodies. If one takes the time to
get to know them.... watching & "listening" - they can learn the most valuable of
life's lessons from these precious children.
Caring for a child with a severe disability is a difficult, life-long responsibility.
This challenge is even greater in countries where the medical and social service
systems are struggling to meet the needs of these children. The cost of
adequately caring for their children is often way beyond the means of families.
Families often are unable to provide for their child's base needs. In addition,
these children's needs can not be met by the typical "adopt a child" organizations
that provide assistance to children living in poverty. The monthly cost of their
care far exceeds that of a non-disabled child and in many cases far exceeds the
monthly income of the entire family. The Valerie Project will begin by supporting
the base medical, nutritional and personal care needs of the children...one child at
a time. As the project expands we hope to help more children and to move beyond
base care - beginning to truly enrich and improve the quality of each child's life.
Valerie was brought into my life for a reason...she opened my eyes to a world of
need that was beyond that which I could have imagined. The children of the
Valerie Project our now being placed in each of your paths...what is your heart
leading you to do?
In love,
Carrie
