This kid never ceases to amaze me! From being born 2 months early and being told he’d never talk or walk to overcoming every difficulty with an incredible attitude and a smile. I’m so proud of his courage and strength. Here are his first steps after his spinal surgery.
We had a very warm and heartfelt meeting on the eve of Saint Nicholas Day with a large foster family raising seven children. Like many Ukrainian families, after the occupation of their home, they had to start life anew. Yet resilience, care, and mutual support helped them through these trials. We thank Vasyl and Natalia for raising our Ukrainian children in exactly this way. We also thank Dell Loy Hansen, whose support through the Room for Childhood project enabled the Olena Zelenska Foundation to build this home.
@Grizzfather I have three friends that are going through similar things. They were each diagnosed with functional neurological disorder. I think it’s worth a google. It’s extremely treatable but can require intensive inpatient therapy to retrain the brain.
I really wish I could be at the @utahjazz game tonight to give Donovan Mitchell a warm welcome back to Utah. He is a genuine, caring human who is doing great things on and off the basketball court. I hope he scores 40 and the Cavs lose.
@NBASarah It felt like they had lost the joy of playing basketball. 2 years ago was a blast until injuries derailed them in the playoffs. I think they collapsed under the weight of expectation.
@WorldWideWob We are going to be terrible, but now I have a team in the east to cheer for. Donovan is a class act and gave our family an incredible memory. I’ll root for him to succeed no matter where he goes.
This is what makes an athlete a star in my book. I love it when people see a need and fill it, but taking time to interact with each kid shows real character. I’m now a huge fan of his.
Welp, I hate to see you go @rudygobert27 but I’ll cheer for you wherever you play. You are a great example of perseverance and hard work and I loved watching you play in Utah. Go get a championship in Minny.
@DadShammdad Student loan forgiveness does nothing to address the source of the issue. You can forgive every student loan, but it does nothing to correct what got us here in the first place. There needs to be a more well rounded solution that addresses cost of Ed, predatory lending, etc.
Did I just purchase this incredible @ForwardMSNFC kit to wear as I coach my 12U girls rec team, The Flaming Hot Flamingos in northeastern Nevada. Yes, yes I did.
@DietCoke_Esq The worst thing about canceling student loans is that it only addresses a symptom of the problem that got us to the current crisis. Instead of bemoaning debt that each of these borrowers signed for, we should tackle the problem from the right end.
