Hosanna (aka YuYu at Little Flower), born October 2016, is quiet and introverted, but quick to smile to those she knows. She loves to be held by her caregiver, and while sitting in their lap will stare up at them happily. A curious baby, she likes to pick up small toys to play with, and will sometimes check them out by licking them!

Hosanna has Down syndrome, as well as a congenital heart defect (ASD). She also had surgery for a duodenal obstruction in September 2017, and recovered well. At 14 months old she would laugh when teased, but didn’t yet speak. She was able to roll over, and would reach for toys she saw to try and grasp them. After her surgery she was rather weak, so she wasn’t crawling yet.

Hosanna’s file is currently with WACAP. She has a $4,000 grant available for qualified families. For more information, please email WACAP.
