About My Kiddos

Abe (15): Athletic, thoughtful and shy. Skillfully motivates and teaches his siblings everything from fractions to board games to goal-tending. After a "lifetime" of playing baseball he switched to rowing this past fall and is loving the intensity and challenge. He still watches baseball and umps baseball games, but instead of swinging phantom baseball bats in the living room during homework breaks he's pulling an invisible oar.

Oscar (13): Endearingly earnest and hardworking. Loves pop music and the Oakland A's....and saves every penny so he can someday "buy a zoo and live in a big house with his wife, children and five golden retrievers". Lives well with Prader-Willi syndrome and it's accompanying insatiable appetite, low tone, scoliosis, sensory integration issues, slow processing, learning disabilities, behavior challenges, and fatigue.

Ruby (9): Independent, athletic, and bright. Spends her free time reading, creating structures out of everything from cardboard to legos, playing board games and kicking her soccer ball in the house. Can entertain a car-full of high school rowers with her charm and jokes.
