George...Once frail and hydrocephalic, he was not expected to survive longer than a few months. At the time I met him, he was almost three years old, completely bedridden and unable to move anything except his hands and legs. A happy child, nevertheless, everyone loved him. We arranged medical treatment, but the biggest change came about when Holt sent a Mulholland "positioning system" specifically for George. For the first time at age four George saw his world from a seated, upright position. He loved sitting up in his chair and being out in the yard instead in his crib.
Later George began taking a few steps and, at 7 years old, he walked on his own without support to meet his new parents at the airport. Now he is a young man, who is getting ready to explore the world on his own!
George is just one of many, many chldren who have been touched by the mission."
