Rachel
Peoria, IL

Rachel is 11 months old and lives in Peoria, IL. She loves playing with her older brother, Stephen, and older sister, Kaitlyn. Rachel's parents describe her as being the best thing that ever happened to their family – hands down. "The love and joy that she gives us is overwhelming. We are so proud of her!"

Of course, they are incredibly proud of Rachel, as they are of their older children who have been so good with her. They love her so much and are always trying to teach new things. Rachel's siblings are constantly showing her off to people. "I know they will always be there for her," says Rachel's mom.

That kind of love and support is what will help Rachel achieve all of her future goals. " You can see the hope that she has when you look in her eyes. She is the future!" say her family.

Rachel and her family will be participating in their first Buddy Walk this year in Norman, IL.
