Nada, Tengo Todo

     Valentina was one of our first two children to receive leg braces back in 2012, when students at Kauri Sue Hamilton School in Riverton, Utah first donated their outgrown braces to children with disabilities in San Ramon, Peru. We got to see her take her first steps.

     Valentina was five then and now she’s twelve, a beautiful girl with cerebral palsy who lives with her grandmother. She lives in extreme poverty, attends a regular school, and walks with difficulty.

     “I’d like to get you a present,” I told her.  “What would you like?” She was silent for a moment, then glanced around her small home and answered, “Nada, tengo todo.” Nothing, I have everything.
​

     We got her a new walker and some new shoes and socks. And the gift that she gave us was priceless.
