We came into young Ada’s life more than two years ago while distributing food hampers during the Covid pandemic. She has cerebral palsy and was reduced to crawling on all fours to move around. We provided her with a walker which has made a big difference in her interaction with other children and has also helped with her early education. Instead of her mother having to carry Ada to and from school, the walker allowed her the independence to get to school by herself.
Ada’s family recently sent me a video of her reading in English. I'm not really sure what the educational standards are these days, but to be able to read in English considering it is not her native language at 7~8 years of age is truly amazing to me!!!
We are also still providing Ada her weekly physiotherapy sessions in the hope that she might be able to walk by herself one day without aid. The therapists are quite positive about this being a reality and if that happens it will be a miracle! We have done many good things for people, but for me personally, giving Ada the chance for a better life is right up there as one of the most rewarding.
Thank you all once again for the support.
I would also like to extend my gratitude to the Betito family for voluntarily looking after Ada’s case with care and compassion.
