Paramus Rotary Club Meeting of Thursday, February 1, 2018 This week we had a Gift of Life child recipient all t he way from Poland. Veronica was the recipient from 28 years ago and is currently living in Poland with her husband, Andre. They got married about 7 years ago and currently live in Lublin, Poland with a population size of 400k. They met in Church in their community where both of their parents have been a part for many decades. She was the first born child and was seriously ill and was brought back to life through the Gift of Life program. A nurse that was helping take care of her when she was ill knew of another Gift of Life recipient and put Veronica in touch with the Gift of Life program. Veronica really believes that God has a plan for everyone and she really feels God's Love and tries to share this with everyone! Her parents accompanied her and her husband on this trip in order to thank the Paramus Rotary for their very own Gift of Life! They will be attending the Gift of Life dinner at the Venetian on February 8th where she will be sharing more details of her journey.
