In early 2016, the Nigerian-based Linking Hands Foundation sought Le Bonheur’s help on behalf of the Ayenis. The Ayenis stayed at FedExFamilyHouse for the duration of the twins' treatment.
Atlanta Finds Comfort at FedExFamilyHouse
In the first grade, Billy Drash started having seizures, and after seeing multiple specialists and trying many different treatments, he continued to have uncontrollable seizures. In 2013, that changed when his family came to Le Bonheur and met Dr. James Wheless. More than a year since his VNS surgery, Billy is now seizure-free. When the family travels to Memphis from Atlanta for appointments and procedures, they always stay at FedExFamilyHouse.
