We all face different kinds of challenges in our lives. Sometimes the obstacles feel impossible to overcome. Those are the moments when we need a little extra inspiration and hope.<\/p>\n
When Mike first learned about a little turtle with an exposed heart, he knew that he had to take her in.<\/p>\n
He knew that keeping her healthy would be difficult, but he wouldn\u2019t give up on this poor animal who needed a little extra help. So Mike took the tiny turtle to his home and named her Hope.<\/p>\n
At first, Hope was around the size of a coin and couldn\u2019t see well. Mike had to give her special care and monitor her size to make sure that she would grow up healthy and strong.<\/p>\n
He fed her with tongs several times a day because she had trouble seeing and because bacteria was a huge risk to her exposed heart, he made sure the water was always clean and at the proper temperature.<\/p>\n
After a year and a half of Mike\u2019s attentive care, Hope has grown so much! She is thriving and still growing. She\u2019s even playful and gets excited when Mike gets home.<\/p>\n
