October 2002 - May 2003

Four year old Francisca from Nicaragua was not able to walk at the time of her arrival, due to a genetic birth defect.

Francisca learned to walk, went to school and picked up a good amount of English by the time she went home in May 2003.

Francisca was hosted by Craig and Jill, Olivia and Elaina.


Dr. Shindell advised against surgery at this time, recommending therapy instead. Francisca certainly benefited from physical therapy sessions generously provided by Inglish & Petersen.

 

Reunion with her family back in Nicaragua.
