In 2005 a family in Calgary adopted a beautiful Cambodian boy named Samuel. Samuel, like Sarah, is an amputee. He is missing both hands and part of one of his legs. Laws were different in 2005, and the Seehawers were able to adopt Samuel despite Canada's suspension on adoptions from Cambodia.
Samuel is now a healthy 8 year old boy who is doing extraordinary things! Had he stayed in Cambodia, he would probably have never survived. With a loving family, supports from our wonderful health care system, and a lot of enthusiasm...Samuel is living a full and inspiring life.
Check out this 3 minute video on Global's website showing Samuel as one of the Everyday Heroes! http://globalnews.ca/news/223715/samuel-seehawer/

This June will be Samuel's 4th Ride for Rescue. When Samuel first heard about Sarah, he got inspired to do something to try to help out children like Sarah who are without parents and in need. Ride for Rescue came into being and thousands of dollars have been raised for Place of Rescue because of Samuel's bravery and passion. We dream of the day that Sarah can join Samuel on his ride!
We would love for Sarah to have the same opportunities that Samuel has had. We would love for her life to touch others in Canada and for her to grow up knowing she has such potential and an amazing future ahead of her despite her physical challenges. Sam's story inspires us and reminds us that with God anything is possible!
