Haley is another kid that the advocacy team got to meet. She was a little reserved at first and it took a little while to warm up but once she did her spunky personality shined.
She is so full of life and cheery. She is not afraid to dive right in and give it all she’s got. She patiently put a puzzle together and was so proud of the end result, showing it off and letting us know it was her who completed it.
On the advocacy’s field trip to a cooking class, she jumped right in and became a leader for her group. She showed off her good multi-tasking skills, helping the little kids while staying on task. She really loved to cook. When the delicious treats came out of the oven, she proudly went around to all the adults and gave them a treat, beaming ear to ear as she made her way from each one. The last adult was a helper who she gave the last treat to along with a giant hug.
We taught her to say, “Nice to meet you,” in English and she just thought that was the coolest and funniest thing to say. She kept repeating it over and over. We asked her if she liked learning English and she said yes she likes language.
Haley is a silly and confident little girl. Could this little chef be your daughter?
Haley is 10 years old and has a repaired cleft lip and palate.
