This year, we are thankful for movement! 🏃‍♂️💪

For years, Delphin carried a large growth on his neck that made it difficult to breathe, move, and provide for his family.

Today, that burden is finally gone! Delphin can breathe easy, move freely, and care for the people he loves.

Thank you for celebrating these stories of hope and thankfulness with us this Thanksgiving! 💙

This year, we’re grateful for friends!

Fudia waited years to be able to play alongside her classmates, but her bowed legs kept her on the sidelines.

We still have one more story of thankfulness to share later today. Don’t miss it!
