Recently, she received an Academic Achievement Award from the International " Yes I Can " Foundation for Exceptional Children. Dallys will receive the award for excelling in the classroom, despite having enormous medical obstacles. The " Yes I Can " Foundation chooses three children to receive the award, a bronze statue entitled " Youth Victorious " . Each winner will receive their award at the council for Exceptional Children's annual convention in Seattle, Washington. Dallys and her family are raising money to assist with travel expenses to Seattle. Send donations to the American Lung Association at 1436 Royal Palm Square Blvd., Fort Myers, Fl 33919 or call the Association at 239-275-7577.
