Today was a big day for Will and his friend Evalena and both the Mommies! For those whose don't know the story, here's a quick recap. Evalena and Will have had an instant connection since the first day of kindergarten at Claude Brown Elemenary. Evalena has always been a good friend to Will. She sees him as a 6 year old boy in her class who makes her laugh. She doesn't look at his differences or if she does she doesn't mention them. She is very caring and nurturing to him but plays with him and makes crazy faces with him...just like a typical kid.
So...at Chihuahua's back in March Evalena and her family came out to eat. While they were waiting for their food, her parent's told Evalena why they were eating out that night. They told her that the money that was raised that night at the restaurant would help to pay for another trip to Kansas City so Will could continue to get stronger. Evalena wanted to know how she could help. The rest is history!
Evalena started making Friendship link scarves to sell to raise money for Will's KC trip expenses.
If you walk down the halls of Claude Brown Elementary you see teachers, staff, students- boys and girls wearing a colorful scarf that was handmade by Evalena. It's a pretty overwhelming experience to say the least! Will is very lucky to have such a great friend. Evalena is a gift! She is one special little girl that is going to do great things in her life...watch and see!
