EBBA

EBBA has a cheery outlook to have been through so much tragedy.  She lost her mother right after she was burned... because her mom felt sooo guilty and decided she could not live with herself having a child with disfiguring injuries.

Ebba continues to learn new ways to help herself.   having lost one hand completely and the fingers of her right hand, she has learned how to use her remaining thumb to open "smarties" candies and share.  She has learned how to use h er elbow joint to hold things and her thumb acts as a "pincher" to grasp things to pick them up.  I bet she can dress herself and manage her bathroom needs on her own.

The BIG news is her adoption fees have been greatly reduced to help her find a family she needs.   The costs for Ebba’s adoption have been greatly reduced; it is estimated her adoption would cost around $15,500.

She would be a great candidate for Shriner's Children's hospitals.  I know the one in Cincinnati has one AWESOME burn unit to help kids like Ebba.

Please check her Reece's Rainbow link: http://reecesrainbow.org/86897/ebba
She has a Reece's Rainbow account where donations are tax deductible.  If you are inclined to donate, those would be GREATLY appreciated as well.
