We’re back :) 

Mila is now 3 1/2 years old and has made tremendous progress as a result of the services she has been receiving and the endless amount of love and support she has from our friends and family. Our “village” is everything we could ask for and more. 

Mila is happy, silly, affectionate, smart, and if you know Mila well, you’d probably describe her as a little spitfire. She loves to color, stack, solve puzzles, read books, have tea parties, jump, climb and run. She loves the outdoors, where she can play with water, swing on her swing set, or jump on the trampoline with her big brothers. She has been receiving services for over a year now and she has made so much progress! We are so incredibly proud of her! 

Last years walk was such a beautiful experience for Mila and our family and we couldn’t have done it without such an amazing team! We are excited to do it again and we thank you from the bottom of our hearts for all of your love and support. Let’s go, Mila’s Army!!!!!
