Becoming Friends Through the Friendship Circle

When Jenna Kress, 16, first met Danielle Orleans, 9, she had to stay on the other side of the room for a visit that lasted about 15 minutes. Fast forward three years later, Jenna continues to visit Danielle, who is high functioning on the Autism spectrum, every single Sunday, staying for hours to read, write, cook and bake with the little girl who has allowed her to not only come close in physical proximity, but in her heart, as well.
