Joselin and Franklin are home in Honduras
Child 63 for Gift of Life Mid-South came to us with hope and faith from Honduras. Franklin O’Campo and Mom, Joselin, stole our hearts as LeBonheur’s great surgeons fixed his. Susan Scott from the Gift of Life board and Rotary members from our joint sponsoring clubs in Collierville and Germantown met them at the airport for their brief stay in Memphis. After a successful surgery and an extra week to recover we were all touched by watching little Franklin, run, play and dance at our Gala on October 6th. And now they’re back home with a renewed hope for a normal life for Franklin.
