California - Hawaii Elks Major Project (Purple Pig) 2011:

Delilah Rodriguez Hernandez had a very stormy birth. She was born at 35 weeks gestation with a multitude of medical complications. She remained at Childrens Hospital for 5 months. She started with the Elks Major Project in February of 2010 when she was two years old. She had eight sessions at Children's Hospital in Fresno prior to starting weekly physical therapy in her home from the Elks. On the first visit with Kris Bratton, Delilah was only able to roll from stomach to back and back to stomach. When placed in a sitting position she could maintain her balance for very brief periods of time. Her muscles were very weak and control was very poor. Delilah and her family worked very hard and consistently in following her home exercise program and goals began to be achieved. In 2010 her pink walker was delivered, she was able to stand in the walker immediately but her control of her feet and ankles was very poor. In January of 2011 she received leg braces and was able to stand. Delilah began to take a few steps with her walker for the first time totally independent. Delilah still has a long way to go but because of your donations to California Hawaii Elks Major Project therapists can all continue to work hard to make Delilah blossom into a fine young lady whose life has no boundaries.

When someone from our Lodge asks you to support Purple Pig (Major Project) I hope you will remember Delilah Rodriguez Hernandez, and all the other children we have helped over the years, and continue to give generously.
