Samantha
Age 10
Shodair Children's Hospital
Connective Tissue Disorder
Samantha loves spending time with the autistic children her mother works with and they love her too. She has a gift of making everyone around her feel loved and important. Her early trials have only deepened her natural empathy, wit and charm.
As a baby, Sam was diagnosed with collagenopathy, a condition that causes orthopedic, vision and hearing challenges. Determined not to let her disabilities get in the way of her success, Sam participates in sports and loves to draw, write, read and perform.
Though her condition is a life-long disease and will require ongoing treatment, Sam looks at the bright side of everything. She faces her future with an impressive energy and vigor. Always seeking to give back to others, Sam dreams of helping others as an OB/GYN doctor.
