GRCC instructor teams up with quilt-making ministry to help inspiring student have a warmer, safer commute
Dec. 20, 2022, GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. – Island Hines will have a warmer, safer commute to Grand Rapids Community College’s Fratzke Early Childhood Learn Lab through a gift from a local ministry and support from a GRCC instructor.
Island's joyful spirit and determination make her an inspiration to the ECLL team members, who describe her as a “phenomenal individual.” Island, who turns four years old next month, was recently diagnosed with Cohen's Syndrome, a genetic disorder characterized by diminished muscle tone.
