Thanks for this shining light... A few years back a family I know who have a daughter (Hannah) with MS, were a part of this project or a similar one and Hannah now has a voice. (As I recall her older sister banked her voice for Hannah to use.)

I had taught Hannah in elementary school. She had encyclopedic knowledge of Disney songs and characters. Out of the blue, she sent me a video of the whole family dressed in various Disney costumes.

The mother introduced the video by saying something like:
"Hannah wants to tell you something she always wanted to but never could."

Then there was Hannah, smiling as broadly as ever, looking directly into the camera and saying in a voice so startlingly beautiful I gasped:

"I want to tell you that you always made me laugh. Thank you, Jimmy."

And of course I broke into tears of joy —As I am on the verge of doing now thanks to your post.
