“Thank you so much for your generous gift. The $5,000 you granted our family has allowed us to continue our daughter’s growth hormone medication. Ella was diagnosed with Turner Syndrome five months into my pregnancy. She is now a thriving nine-year-old who is about to enter the Accelerated Learning Program for fourth grade (the class for the smarty pants kids!).

Although her mind is sharp and her friendships are deep, she feels a step behind her peers since her body is closer to the size of a six-year-old. She is so excited to grow! Even enduring a daily shot is worth it in her opinion and it is starting to pay off. This summer she finally got a chance to ride all the big roller coasters at our local amusement park! You helped make that possible. Without you, we never could have afforded a medication that costs $3,000 a month. I can’t say thank you enough to your organization and its contributors. Thank you for your generosity. May God bless you in your noble work.”
