We. Are. Peoria (Area)

Very emotional story. Usually TV stations don't do stories on themselves. This time an exception was made. The extended video is on the CIProud website.

Disclosure: I worked with Mark Welp for a few months before he was promoted to the Nightly news.

Incredibly sad story. No child an no parent should face this. Seems too little to offer up prayers, but if one has faith then they understand the power of prayer, and also that not all get answered as we would want. I pray for healing, peace, comfort and understanding for this young girl and her family.

Truly sad! Can't imagine the emotional roller coaster the Welp family is going through and how they are going to help the twin sister through this while they are dealing with their own pain.
