The story

My name is Silkie I was created and named by a six year old named Whitney. She loves beautiful things. She designed my dress so that I would look like an angel who can fly. She sewed it herself since she learned to sew in school. Whitney goes to Waldorf School which has a handwork program. She does not know anything about being HIV+ or having AIDS so her life is still very care free and happy like a child’s life should be. She is very healthy and a blessing from GOD to be around. NC
