My wonderful three-year-old girl came from Istanbul last spring. She had been hit by a car and the volunteers there found her at the side of the road with a broken leg. The leg was fixed there but it never healed properly so it eventually had to be amputated here in Canada. This hasn’t slowed my little girl down…not one...
