Our Hero

Each spring, public and private schools in New Orleans and its surrounding Louisiana parishes nominate one student from their school to receive an inspirational hero award given by a private sponsor.  The heroes are children who have made “overwhelming achievements despite physical, emotional, psychological, or social challenges faced on a daily basis.”  

This year principals and teachers from our local school nominated Henry.

He sure has been our hero.  Henry often makes surmounting obstacles look easy when we know they can be very hard.   His resilience truly has been inspiring.

Henry goes to the Lusher Charter School.  We are very grateful for the kind understanding and support we've found there.
