Meeting Maddie

This is Maddie. She was born with hip displaysia like myself. She just went through another surgery and ended up in a cast similar to what I used to have. She is an amazing girl and has amazing parents! Her dad took her on the carousel in the mall and mom took her to a concert in the park! Nothing can stop this little lady! 
Stella and Brenna got to meet her too! 

we gave her a bead assortment that so reminded me of when I used to be in the hospital. A dear friend gave me beads which I turned into earrings for all my nurses. That same friend happens to be Maddie's Great Aunt! how awesome yet small world-ish is that!

you can check out her story at

Thank you SHRINERS is such a beautiful way to show your appreciation! I struggle with that, how do I thank someone for giving me the ability to walk???

  1. We are so blessed to have run into you in this small small world Rebecca. You're correct, how do you ever express your gratitude for a thing so wonderful? Shriners has changed our family and we will never be able to truly express how blessed we truly are from having experienced what it is to be a Shriners family. Shriners doesn't just fix a child's bones, they heal a family going through the biggest challenge they may ever face.
