“I just wish more people knew that it doesn’t affect you much,” Hope shares. “It does make you short. And you do have to go to the doctor more. But you’re still you. You’re still someone. And it doesn’t define you.”
The full multimedia project with a written story for “Hope for Butterflies” can be found at the Endeavors website.
