Story

Faith was born with severe limb differences and learned to walk upright after patient care and training by the Stringfellow family.

Her later visits to hospitals, schools and service members encouraged many people, but the story is recorded without romanticizing disability.

Faith is archived because the story preserves care, adaptation and quiet encouragement rather than a simple spectacle of unusual movement.
