3rd annual Bella Bash

ummm yes, that is Miss Melinda Doolittle that i am posing with from American Idol and i was also excited to be so close to another American Idol star, Mr Danny Gokey! amongst Nationally Syndicated radio personality Delilah, Comedian Henry Cho, Mr Russ Taff, Tim Akers and Bruce Carroll..all were gathered together tonight at the Loveless Cafe Barn for an amazing Benefit called the Bella Bash.

This was an event i will never forget! this was to help start a new center for children who are misdiagnosed with Autism who really have a disorder called Angelman Syndrome.

This amazingly beautiful little girl named Isabella Hamm is a patient where i work and i have been honored to have met her several times as with her two wonderful parents. In 2003 Yolanda and Regi (Bella's parents) flew to China and Adopted there first child. They were unaware that she was born with a rare genetic disorder known as Angel Syndrome. She is missing a tiny piece of her 15th maternal chromosome, and as a result Isabella cant speak,bathe herself or respond to most verbal commands. She needs 24 hour monitoring to be able to function.

This year they formed the angel wings foundation. This foundation exists to provide therapy and support to real people struggling with some profoundly challenging mental disabilities

Tonight was a celebration of joy and hope. And not only myself but my entire office staff was invited to attend this life changing evening! There were alot of tears shed tonight, alot of praying and laughter...again, i will never forget what I witnessed tonight and learned about this horrific disease that we not aware even existed...and also that God is in control! He trusted Yolanda and Regi with this wonderful daughter for a reason...
