I'd like to tell you about a place I went to last week. This is a story of a real hero named Allison. Seven years ago she had a baby boy. They named him Lucas. He spent many months in the Neonatal Critical Care Unit. His parents were told he probably wouldn't survive and if he did, he would never walk or talk.

| Loved. Uplifted. Carefree. Cherished. Angels. |
But they believed he would and they took him home. Lucas did survive and Allison has worked tirelessly with him so he could develop to his fullest potential.

Lucas is now 7 years old, he can walk and talk and is ready to go to school.
Allison has a degree as an Interior Decorator and worked for several large companies. But because of Lucas she quit her career and started a day care center for special needs children. That was just ten months ago

| There are several teachers who work with their special needs |
There are now 24 children that come to her center. Allison charges the parents for tuition but it is half the price of other special needs centers.
The senior couple for South Africa is Kinne and Jim Kirshbaum. They are one of the thirteen Country Directors in the Africa Southeast Area. When the Church does Humanitarian work, they work with organizations to help them accomplish their mission.

| Allison is in the center and Kirschbaums on the right |
With Kirshbaums' help, the Church was able to provide a fence around the pool area, a lift to lower children into the pool and cameras in the rooms to monitor the children. That may not seem like very much but it was a great blessing for Allison and her day care center.
