"Those of us who knew Hunter will tell you that he changed us in profound ways. The grass somehow appeared greener, and the array of beauty that colors our world and the intricate details of creation became more vibrant. Simple things we were usually too busy to appreciate filled us with gratitude because, incredibly, God used the simplicity of the common to show us how uncommon simple things really are. Hunter loved life...all of it. His suffering didn't take away from his ability to enjoy life; it only made him enjoy what he could that much more." ~ Excerpt from 'Without a Word', Chapter 8, 'Hunter at One and Two' Photo: Hunter Kelly at age four playing his piano in his special stander. Hunter loved music! |

Although Krabbe and other Leukodystrophies are devastating diseases, affected children are capable of living well beyond the disease reported life expectancy. Their lives can be filled with joy and fun activities! Through aggressive intervention, these children are defying the odds and the expectations placed upon them. Each child affected by Krabbe or another Leukodystrophies is a unique individual, full of potential and life. Hope for Life is a special program intended to encourage parents of children affected by Krabbe and other Leukodystrophies to pursue the best care and opportunities available for as full a life as possible for your child. Whether your child is newly diagnosed, or was diagnosed years ago, it is our hope that you will find Hope for Life helpful and enlightening. Above all, it is our prayer that you will believe that there is hope for your child… Hope for Life! It is impossible to express the
amazing life Hunter had, but we are hoping that these stories, photos
and videos will give you a glimpse into Hunter's life and the Hope we
have for your child's life. |
