The Awe & Wonder of a Three Year Old Boy…
Just recently we received a wonderful email surprise. Remember Jared? The young boy who was the first child to be approved through our “Roots & Wings” Program in February 2012! The baby who was screened in Puerto Rico for SCID! The baby who was under Dr. Trudy Small’s care at Memorial Sloan Kettering in New York City! Yes! Him! That wonderful and delightful young boy that we are so proud to have met and continue to see grow. Hearing of all his life updates brings us all such joy.
Jared continues to live in Puerto Rico with his mom and dad. They visit us here at the JMF office quite often and it’s always a delight. After the holidays we were sent various pictures but wanted to share with the world just a few of how grown-up he is looking recently. It seems his favorite character is Spiderman. (Did you zoom in to take a good look at his Spiderman bike? How cool is that?) Spiderman's creators gave him super strength and agility, and from what we know, Jared, too, has super strength and agility. To be able to live a SCID FREE LIFE… we think that’s POWERFUL! ♥
