Sarah Jameison, now 17 years old had never been just your basic teenager. Gifted with an extraordinary voice, Sarah loved to sing and had taken singing lessons for many years. But a terrible car accident left her with severe brain injuries, including severe weakness in the nerve controlling vocal chord motion. She could no longer sing in the same way as before. After spending many months in the Weisman Children’s Rehabilitation Hospital, Sarah went home, but she went home changed. KHK decided that helping give Sarah back what was so much a part of her life before, would be very much true to our mission, so we funded six months of voice lessons for Sarah… a wonderful gift for a wonderfully talented teen.
