When we first stepped foot in the Children's Center, almost exactly three years ago, Errol was six months old, recently diagnosed as profoundly disabled, and we were feeling desperate and alone. Mike Britt, the school's director, promised us that The Children's Center would become a second home for Errol who would say his first words and take his first steps there. A tiny light began to flicker.
Over these years, we have watched in awe as Errol and his schoolmates have made great strides! Every little hard won step is celebrated!
Errol has spent three splendid years at The Children's Center, surrounded by love and buoyed by support. We're not on a perfect trajectory to health and happiness (the light flickers on, then dims), but thanks to his school and its courageous little students, there is always a light at the end of the tunnel. Errol is not walking or talking yet, but he's making progress, and most importantly, he is loved.

Dear family,
I love this picture of Errol. he reminds me so much of a limp biscuit here. He depends on you guys for so much. He is in such good hands. What a blessing that Errol was born into your little family, and not any other. The joy of this little boy is enough to sail ten thousand boats down ten thousand rivers!
