Spotlight on strength

Hailey Sutin was born at 25 weeks old, and now she’s an energetic 6 year old who lives with cochlear implants. She participated in kidswear line cuteheads’ Brave, Strong Girls series, which spotlights girls who have faced challenges and serve as strong examples. Hailey (pictured here with mom Leslie) had a special dress designed and named for her and participated in a photo shoot. Proceeds from the sales of the Hailey dress will be donated to The Center for Hearing and Speech, where Hailey gained confidence and skills. “Hailey’s contagious smile while modeling the dress brought tears to my eyes,” said mom Leslie Sutin. “All I could think about is how much she inspires me and how far she has come.” See blog.cuteheads.com/brave-strong-girls-hailey/ for more on Hailey, who is in first grade at Condit Elementary School.
