Hello my name is Gemma,

I am 16 years old and live in Utah. My Brother's name is Juan (Tommy) Rojas and he was 15 at the time
of his accident. My Brother has a little lion from your organization--number 136. My brother had his accident August 2, 2010. He
was riding a bike and hit a brick wall where he then was dragged by
his own bike and hurt his head really bad. He was then taken to Primary Childrens Medical Center, and was in a coma for about a month, where he
recieved your lion. After that he was taken to a rehabilitation center
and then back to Primary Children's and had to learn how to walk and talk
again. It was really trumatic for all of us because doctor thought he
wasn't gonna make it. Then we always gave him the lion and he was
really attached to the little lion. And thanks to God he is recovering
slowly. So we just wanted to say Thank You and we are just grateful for your organization. *Thanks* for having a organization that helps others in their time of need.

Lion 136 was passed on to Tommy by the family of Jessica, who was also a victim of a traumatic head injury.
