Hi there sweet girl,
My name is Alyssa and I am your new advocate! I will be writing letters to you and Miss Greta, as well as building you two Keepsake Boxes. :)
I want to start off by telling our readers a little bit about you darling one!
Your diagnosis is Down syndrome, deep mental delay, deficiency anemia, hypostatura. Now those things might sound scary but I can assure you they are not!
'Down syndrome', is when an individual is born with an extra copy of the 21st chromosome. This makes them extra special, they may learn a bit slower...But hey! We all learn at our own pace!
'Deep Mental handicap' is probably caused because she is in an institution, and doesn't have room to grow and thrive as a near 12 year old should. She has no one to help her learn, or to stimulate her brain.
'Deficiency Anemia' Iron deficiency, very common and an iron supplement can often fix it. It can be caused by poor nutrition. Which is more then likely the cause in this case, because of where she is currently living. I may be wrong though.
'Hypostatura' Short stature do to malnutrition, or other illness.
So see? He diagnosis isn't scary! As for her personality, despite what her Reece's Rainbow profile says (Now many people have met her and all have different impressions of her!) I like this one the best though. :)
"I know people who have met her who found her to be a happy little girl who loved to cause mischief. She can walk assisted and the nannies aren't a fan of her because she is more mobile and into things than the rest of her groupa. She was wearing an 18 month onesie last summer at 10 years old."
This describes her well, but also show the great need of a family. It is absolutely horrifying to hear that at nearly 11 years old she can fit into an 18 month onesie. My three year old brother Silas, wont even fit in an 18 month onesie! The is outrageous! Della, needs out! If she stays like this much longer she wont survive! She will die, in a place where she was not wanted. My heart hurts, and I want to jump on a plane to go get her. But I can't. So I am going to need you to do it for me. Please, don't let her die like this.
"I see the tears falling down her face
How come no one protected
The little girl that the world rejected."
