Miracle Child

This week I worked with a crew building a deck. At Buba O'Malley's, whose house burned completely down and are now living in a trailer. The daughter, Danielle, was diagnosed with
Osteoporosis when she was born. The docters told her she would never walk, talk, go to school, or have children. Danielle is now walking, talking, and graduating in two years with a degree in
Accounting and will be going for her masters after that.

When she was 17 she became pregnant, and the doctors told her that either she or the baby would not survive because of her disability. She spent two weeks in the hospital after the delivery and will never be able to have another baby, but Brelynn is now 2 yrs old and so beautiful! At two, she already says she wants to be an animal doctor. She is so smart, fun, and friendly. My job was very rewarding this week!

Danielle's mom, as they live with her parents, started
to cry when she saw the beautiful deck my crew built this week. She was so touched
to see her daughter, Danielle, be able to walk down the stairs by herself for the very first time in her life!
