Thanks so much for highlighting the condition of Beta Thalassemia. I love your welcoming ad with the children hugging. Our daughter Grace is one of those children that God used Holt International, as well as the Chinese orphanage to save. Thank you to those who donate to this important work; and even more so to the individuals and families who adopt these wonderful children.
Our daughter Grace both ran cross country and swam at Vacaville Christian in High School.
Was it always easy for her in sports? No, But the memory was priceless when Grace placed in the top 20 of a high school cross country meet and won a medal. The assistant track coach (a medical doctor) with tears in his eyes said to her “Do you know how difficult what you have just done is?” The picture of her smiling with a medal around her neck is one of my favorites. Today, Grace is a happy, healthy 19 year old pre-nursing student at CalBaptist University.
We are so proud of all the parents who take the step of adoption and join us on this journey!
Sincerely,
Michael Richard and Chanie Richard
Proud parents of Grace and Tim
