"Hennes"
Meet adorable "Hennes"! Hennes is 6 years old and living in Eastern Europe. In addition to Arnold Chiari Malformation, Hennes is also diagnosed with spina bifida, clubfoot, and a developmental delay.
Hennes is the CUTEST little guy! I fell in love with his smile at first sight! He is described as a social and happy child. Hennes loves to talk and make conversation. He likes all kinds of toys, including balls, blocks, cars, and puzzles. His favorite food are apples, and his favorite drink is orange juice!
It is unclear exactly how Hennes' Arnold Chiari Malformation affects him, but he is developmentally delayed in all areas. This could also be a result of his spina bifida.
Hennes is able to ask and answer questions and make general conversation. When he has difficulty with a task, he'll say "it doesn't work" to get help from caregivers. Hennes gets around by crawling and using his upper body strength. He can also walk using a walker. Hennes can draw with a pencil and chalk. He eats independently and is not a picky eater. He can pull up and stand with support. His caregivers say that he rarely cries. If he is upset, you will notice it on his face, but he is in a good mood most of the time! He is very smart, sweet, and easy to talk to! He understands everything that is said to him.
Hennes is currently receiving physical therapy and speech therapy in his group home. Hennes has had surgery for his spina bifida and clubfoot. He does not take any medications.
Hennes has a $2,000 grant with Hand in Hand Adoptions, a $5,000 grant with a specific NGO, a $5,000 grant with Holt International, and $1,060.20 in his personal grant with Reece's Rainbow. He also has $0 in his personal grant with Nightlight Christian Adoptions. Hennes also has a $2,500 grant with Agape!
