Rachel Junkins is 14 years
old and in the 9th grade. She has three sisters: Sara, age 11; Hannah, age 8; and Abigail, age 4. Sara and Abigail
both have special needs as well. Rachel was born with Arthrogryposis, dislocated hips and club feet. She has had five surgeries.
Rachel’s favorite things to do are draw and sing. Rachel had no use of her arms or legs and does all her painting with
her mouth! Rachel uses an electric wheelchair that she operates with head controls.
Rachel is also a cheerleader
for her high school. Although she cannot perform the stunts, she can cheer with her voice. Rachel even find time to sing in
the church choir and perform in plays at her church.
Rachel is a very talented
in all she does. Her singing has earned her an invitation to travel to China this summer with Voices United to sing with her
high school chorus group. Rachel’s family was unable to raise the funds needed to finance her trip. Rachel has been
offered a second chance to make the trip to China next summer if the funds can be arranged to pay for her travel. Please support
Angel Boy Art, Inc. in our goal to raise the funds this special young woman needs to make her dream a reality.
