My student, Katherine, was born with ABS (Amniotic Band Syndrome). This condition affects the growth of limbs. Katherine recently told her mother, who is currently battling cancer, "Mommy, I want a hand for Christmas!" Insurance does not cover a prosthesis, so we are trying to raise the $6,000 needed. I know this family personally, and I know that together we can make a big difference in their lives. What a beautiful Christmas miracle this would be! Please consider contributing to Katherine's Christmas fund ... No amount is too small. Visit this link for more information about Katherine: http://www.superhands.us/pages/katherin.html
