Renatta and Xareny are twins who are loving, kind, and charismatic little girls and enjoy spending time with their family. Although they have different personalities, in many ways they are like two peas in a pod and both love to play “princess”.

 
These happy girls always have something to teach their family and steal the hearts of just about anyone who meets them. Both girls have speech delays but they are progressing every day.
 

Mom, Sara, says seeing them complete preschool was an extra special moment. “I have always been proud of my twins. Every day I learn something from them. Seeing how they are advancing as a result of their therapies is so exciting. I encourage them to face their challenges courageously, and they motivate me to fight to give them a better quality of life.”

Renatta y Xareny son dos hermanas gemelas muy cariñosas, amables y carismáticas, quienes disfrutan pasar tiempo con su familia. Aunque sus personalidades son distintas, en muchas maneras ellas son similares como dos gotas de agua. A las dos les encanta jugar a las “princesas”.
 
Estas dos chicas felices siempre tienen algo que enseñar a su familia y se roban el corazón de todos aquellos que las conocen. Las dos tienen demoras de lenguaje, pero están progresando cada día más.
 
Sara, su mamita dice que verlas completar el Kindergarten fue un momento extra especial. “Yo siempre he estado orgullosa de mis gemelas. Todos los días aprendo algo nuevo de ellas. Ver como ellas están avanzando con sus terapias, es muy emocionante. Yo las animo a enfrentar sus desafíos con coraje, y ellas me motivan a luchar para darles una mejor calidad de vida”.
