A True Miracle

Jack, a former student of mine, was a buddy for his cousin, Makenna.

Makenna's sister, Cami, was watching the game.

Maddie was happy to be at the game.

Matthew, a buddy, entertained Ty and Maddie the entire game! I wanted to take him home with us. He even wiped pretzel off Maddie's mouth.

Chris had the privilege of helping his brother, Adam, coach a Miracle League team this past Saturday. The Miracle League is a baseball league for children with special needs. Adam helps coach one of the four teams. His team is the Orange Crushers. The field is located behind Starlight School. It is made out of recycled tires and is completely handicap accessible so that someone with a walker or wheelchair can play ball. It is a very smooth surface. Everyone on the team has a buddy that helps them bat or run if needed. They also help their buddies in the field. There is an announcer, a consession stand, dugouts, and bleachers. The field is truly amazing, but not nearly as amazing as the athletes that use the facility every Saturday morning.
