Erka Bogan!
Congratulations Erika, we are so happy for you and so very proud!
Many thanks for all the prayers and support that she received from everyone. I was so excited to learn Saturday night that Erika won and will represent North Carolina at the Miss Wheelchair America pageant later this summer. It’s so exciting and I am so honored to share in Erika’s joy and journey.
You are in for a treat as Erika will be blogging for the Gratitude Circle very soon. You will surely be inspired by her story!
In gratitude,
