“PleaseHelpMeReadThis Though today is my 33rd birthday but it is all about this beautiful daughter of mine; Daniella Dan-Arry because through her a new me has been birthed. Through her I am able to proof true love is indeed & not just in words. Through her I discovered how strong I am.

Through I learnt to be joyful irrespective of challenging situation.
I am Helen Dan-Arry and here is my story: My daughter; Daniella Dan-Arry who was born healthy contracted neonatal sepsis (infections) in the hospital, this resulted to cerebral palsy. We have been through hell, I have have seen people stigmatize while some others showed love, counsel & support. With little or no improvement I became a shadow of myself, battled with depression and crying night & day, I became timid & withdrew from the world because of stigmatization.
I am Helen Dan-Arry , I believe in miracle, I believe in works, I am strong because I am a mum to sweet girl living with a special needs & that’s my super power. Happy Birthday To Rebranded Me”
