8 Year Old Chooses to Raise Awareness for Juvenile Arthritis in Lieu of Birthday Presents
Let’s Move Together – Arthritis Walk – Team Kaetlyn
There are people all around us dealing with issues every day and if you take a minute to get to know someone you may just find out how much they are dealing with. A networking friend of mine helps her daughter deal with real pain every day.
Meet Kaetlyn Rodriguez. She was diagnosed with Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis at 18 months old. She has to have two shots a week. Saturday use to be Kaetlyn’s favorite day, but not since it has become shot day; she does not look forward to Saturdays. Kaetlyn says: “I really wish I did not have this disease. I hope one day they will find a cure. My mom always says God only gives you what you can handle. She says one day I will do something great. I hope she is right”.
