Layla was born recently with Down Syndrome and had to be hospitalized for intestinal problems. Her parents are un-churched and have been grieving the loss of their hopes for their child (they did not know Layla would be born with Down’s). When Debra Petermann of our Joni and Friends/Ohio team found out about this little family, she put together a very unusual Special Delivery basket – resources, books, a pretty pink ballerina tutu, tiara and slippers. Debra said, “I can picture little Layla dancing into the hearts of her parents; I’m convinced she’s going to bring this couple so much joy in the months to come.” How was this gift basket received? The mother absolutely loved it – she even cried! Best of all, the family are considering coming to church once Layla is out of the hospital.
