I was born with some physical challenges. I have Cerebral Palsy. I came into this world on December 18, 1982 in the Provo Hospital to my wonderful parents.

Daniel Jensen
My mom found Daniel while she was working at Canyon Crest Elementary. She pulled Daniel to the side one day and said, "Hey Daniel, we need some help with Sam. Would you be interested in helping us?" He said sure and ever since then, Daniel and I have been close friends. We volunteer at the Food and Care Coalition and go to Institute together every week. Going to D.I. and looking around for cool old items is one of our favorite things to do. Daniel takes me fishing during the Spring when it starts to warm up again.
Whitni England
I have another wonderful aide. We just found Whitni and she has been with the Durst family since my mom started back up with school. She has been awesome for me. Even though she hasn't been with me for very long we have had the chance to do some fun and interesting activities. I will surely miss Whitni. Whitni is like another sister to me.

Megann Marbel
I had a sister from a little town called Elbow, Idaho. She took good care of me while me parents went to work. How I found her was through a friend who worked with her sister at a dentist office. It was a match made in a heaven. Megann had a nursing home job at the time. She was not looking for a job when her sister told her about a kid who needed an assistant to help him. She jumped on the chance to help me and my family. Megann hung out with me for four grateful years. Her and I went on an LDS mission together the to Provo MTC. The first day she worked for me she lost her bag. That bag had her apartment papers and she about cried. The second day was much better. We stayed home that day and got to know each other.
Eventhough Megann cannot work with me regularly she still finds the time to spend time with me. Her husband is able to join us often. It has truly been a blessing to get to know Megann and Skyler. They are two of my heros.
