As the owner of Hearts & Hands of Care, I would like to share my inspiration for wanting to help others. To those who don’t know me, this is my story. At the age of 16, I became pregnant with my daughter Kadijah, who was born with the umbilical cord around her neck twice, causing severe brain damage and causing her to have cerebral palsy. Kadijah is now 17 years old and has had various difficulties with her cerebral palsy. One of our recent obstacles to date was on April 13th, 2005, when Kadijah received spinal surgery for her severe case of scoliosis. She has recovered well, but still has obstacles to overcome.

I have learned many important lessons in my 17 years with Kadijah–the most important one being patience. For a young mother whose motivation was to accomplish any task the first time and not waiting a minute over, this was my greatest challenge. My second obstacle was acceptance for things we are truly powerless to change. Until Kadijah came along, I did not believe I would ever know the true meaning of “powerless.” To watch her, unable to talk or walk, is to intimately know what it is to be powerless.

I am eternally grateful for the gift of life and the many lessons, joys, and trials she has brought to my life.To all of you, this is simply a little piece of me. If I can ever provide support, a listening ear, a shoulder, or information, I urge you to contact me. Though I know not your faces, I can see you in my heart. All the best, and thanks for reading.
