Nana and Buppa here. Today, we sent our membership renewal donation to the Special Olympics. We have been a Partner since 2001! It's a great organization as we hear from Paul and others who physically help the program. There is a new family who attend St.Jude's Church and one of the 3 young children is a mentally challenged child. He is the oldest of the children and very small for his age. He is just adorable--blonde hair, glasses and still sucks his index finger when things get tough (long sermon, etc!) The parents have enrolled him in St. Jude's Kindergarten class and the principal told me some of the children went home and told their parents that "we have a baby in our class!"but they all love him. We have been blessed with healthy children, but now each week when we see this family, I am glad that we are involved with the Special Olympics and maybe someday, little Danny (our new friend) will be helped by the programs that the Special Olympics provide.
