Just like every kid on their first day to school, Lily-Rae was nervous for her first day back. She gripped her mom’s hand closely for one last moment of comfort. “She’s not gonna get stronger, she’s not gonna get better until she can really use the things and the resources and the tools that she has,” Kathryn said. “That’s the thing I’m most excited about, I’m most excited about really being able to see how well she can do as a human, once she’s given the space to use the tools we have.” — Kathryn and her family have successfully settled into their Habitat home in Hillsborough, NC and are happily enjoying the freedom that comes with having a home built for their needs.
