DAVID_____________________________________________
When I met David I was sure I was looking at a 6 month old baby. I was shocked when they told me he was over a year old. Severe malnourishment had caused this little boy with Cerebral Palsy to stop growing. He was even unable to suck from a bottle he was so weak. Now after being in the program for a short time he is sucking from a sippy cup, lifts his head and feet and bends his knees. This beautiful little boy has a long ways to go, but with proper care, and lots of love, we know he will thrive.
