Kevin is Kelli's dad, as well as the dad to Tristan and Aidan.  He is a
Commercial Real Estate Appraiser for Kalinowski & Associates in
Scottsdale, Arizona.  He is a doting father who spends most of his time
worrying about the welfare of his family.  During his family’s stay in St.
Louis, he took care of the family home while managing his career and flying
periodically to and from St.  Louis.  Kelli, bless her heart, turned her dad
“gray” overnight.  Ursula asserts that without his support, attention, and
involvement in Kelligar's day-to-day care, she would not have been able to
cope.  Kevin is truly a wonderful and loving person (and dad).

About Us - Page 2
Ursula is the kids' mom and also a public speaker for the New Life Society's
Public School Program.  She is an avid volunteer with the Donor Network of
Arizona and has a consulting business as well . She is the single most
important person responsible for transforming the "baby that won't make
it" into the vivacious little girl who graces us today.  From the very
beginning she threw herself headlong into being there for Kelli.  Except for
the few precious hours each day that she spent at home reminding Tristan
that we still loved him and had not abandoned him, she could be found at
Kelligar's bedside comforting her and trying to grasp the realities of Kelli's
day-to-day medical condition.  It was only through Ursula's quest to find
someone in the medical community that could provide the answer to Kelli's
undiagnosed condition that we became aware of the option of an organ
transplant.  Thanks to Ursula's constant involvement with Kelli's
post-transplant development, Kelligar has developed from the "Miracle
Girl" whose every breath was an answer to all our prayers to the "normal
little girl" we know and love today.  Ursula's devotion to Kelli's well being
has not diminished the love and attention that she lavishes on her two sons.
