We are excited to announce that Dollar For Portland has once again selected a UCP family to be its monthly recipient.

Three days after Winnie was born, she started to have some complications. She experiences epilepsy, auditory neuropathy, cortical visual impairment, cerebral palsy, and global developmental delay. Winnie is in and out of the hospital, and, not surprisingly, medical bills pile up quickly.

Please watch Winnie's story (here) and consider supporting this wonderful family!
