Santo Domingo to Grand Rapids.

Maya has a prosthetic leg and had to have it refitted. The trip

was not the usual trip, thanks to tropical storm Hanna. No problem,

Julie simply took Maya home with her for the night then the journey to

Grand Rapids continued the next morning.  Much to Maya's delight,

Julie's 13 year old daughter cleaned out her closet and Maya was the

happy recipient of all the clothes that no longer fit!

Catch up with Julie and Maya here....

He gave me a wonderful glimpse of a sweet

and brave little girl...His little girl...full of love and laughter for herself,

her family in St. Louis,

and the family she so eagerly couldn't wait to be reunited with....."
