Make A Wish For Addi and Cassi Today
Your support and encouragement helps us get through each day as we fight our battle against Niemann Pick Type C, the “Childhood Alzheimer’s.” We read all messages posted to our family and while we may not be able to respond to each message, your messages are very touching. Thank you to everyone around the world who has posted on our Wishes Board.











Dear Hempels,
We want you to know that you have been in our thoughts since Grandma Bev informed us of your plight. We hope that our positive prayers of concern reach and encourage you, and result in something good to come out of this extreme challenge. Take care of each other.
Addi, Cassi, Mom & Dad,
Our family is thinking of you and we are sending you lots of good wishes and hugs.
Addi and Cassi,
Please know that I am praying for you – for a cure that will allow the joy that you bring to those around you to outlast this disease. Also know, as I’m sure you do, that you are truly blessed to have your mommy and daddy to guide you. They are an inspiration to me and I send them lots of love and strength.
Oh, little girls that we have watched, by way of pictures, for nearly four years…we pray for the miracle of healthy tomorrows for you both. You have been such treasurers to all of your extended family.
Although I have never cradled you, nor hugged you, nor read a story to you…we have so enjoyed hearing about you via our computer. We love you, Addi and Cassi; and some day I hope to give you a real hug!
In the meantime, please…Addi will you hug your Mom; and Cassi, will you hug your Dad for us? And then give each other a hug….all for us.
We pray for God’s special touch on your bodies and your tomorrows, and for God’s strength for your parents.
Some more of your family,
Floyd & Carol (Hempel) Pounds
