Maria Arrived Home!!!
Maria arrived home safely and was welcomed back into her community by the city council and a group of singers from her church congregation. Although she missed her children during her stay here they can be very proud as are we of their mom. Maria not only worked very hard at her physiotherapy but visited and supported a young paraplegic; David Mahlala daily. She encouraged him to keep hope and to keep trying to improve on his daily therapy. She is an inspiration to all who know her.
