Neena (formerly Sassy)

Hi Robyn and Kandy

I just want to give you an update on Neena. She has come into our lives at such a crucial time. My daughter, who is 34, got sick in the fall and has endured numerous tests, scans, etc. She has two children, ages 4 and 7. I cannot begin to tell you the joy this lil' girl has brought to our family. My daughter had her spleen removed two weeks to rule out cancer which Thank God it wasn't. She has sarcardosis which is not life threatening. During her time away for pre op and surgery, Neena was always there to cuddle with my grandkids. Her antics would make them have belly laughs which was most important at this time.

Last week my daughter developed a blood clot and had to be rushed back to the hospital. Once again Neena stepped in to comfort these kids. I look at her and believe she is an "Angel" sent by God to get this family through a rough time. I think to myself and say: "How could anyone have given you up?" and then I say:"It was God's plan for us to have her.

Now that Jen is home, the kids still come here to play with her and can't wait for mommy to be better so that Neena can go to their house for play dates.

If I can ever be an advocate for your group, I would be happy to post my story.

Once again, thank you both from the bottom of my heart.
