This is Roberto. He likes to be called Romie. He is now 15. When this picture was taken he was 14. He has come from the Philippines for extensive medical treatments from Yale Medical Center. He was born with multiple congenital anamalies. These procedures have helped him thrive and grow and to be able to function normally. Romie seems to be contagiously cheerful. It is very life altering to meet children with so many problems who can spread so much love and sunshine.
