Hailey is a 10½ year old 4th grader at . Hailey is not your ordinary student. She was born with a severe kidney disease. As of today, she has had two kidney transplants, the first one rejected immediately in 2008. Thankfully, the second transplant she had in 2010 (Sancho she named it) is still
working.

Through numerous on-going tests, biopsy, and hospital stays because of complications, Hailey still gives a smile and is full of God's Sunshine.

Another battle was a reconstructive surgery for her hip in August. This was caused by the meds she has to take on a daily basis. She is still recovering from this surgery. Though back to school, Hailey now is battling another serious obstacle of Kidney Reflex Disease.
