Supporting: KVCR presents the 2019 Hero Walk for Autism! for Autism Society Inland Empire
Campaign has ended.
We walk for our hero, Orlando! Life is not always easy but definitely always an adventure with him. Just because he may act different doesn’t mean he is. He walks, cries, gets angry, laughs just like you and I. He has his good an bad days just like any of us. God knew our family was special and that’s why he sent him into our lives. He knew we would fill him with love and provide him the support he needs. We love him to infinity and beyond. (Words from big sister)
