After months of praying and waiting for God's will, He has guided and directed us to our first cochlear implant candidate. Jillian, a 17 month-old precious baby girl, was implanted in February and heard for the very first time on March 8th. While door after door shut for implant candidates, we made the decision to provide assistance for Jillian's second ear. After our heartache and battle for Rhyan's second 'ear', we know firsthand the importance and necessity of both ears for a child. With your help, Jillian will hear with two ears, giving her the protection, safety and quality of life that every child deserves. Come with us and watch as we raise the funds, go through the implant and see the miracle of her progress. It's going to be a priceless journey. We don't want you to miss a moment. And now, with full and grateful hearts, we present to you, Jillian.
