Dorie is a young girl growing up in a small town on the Canadian prairies. From childhood she faced struggles with friends and family, but with the love and the values that she was surrounded with, nothing was too hard to overcome. Whether it's the popular girl at school or her brother being injured in an accident, Dorie had the support and was surrounded by everything she needed to become a wonderful and sucessful woman. The friends that she made and the perseverance she showed strengthened her skills in school and in life as she moved through grade school and directed her attention to her post secondary education regardless of what was happening around her. As she grew, the values that she experienced as a young girl still stayed strong within her and she decided that she would like nothing more than to save up and take her biggest inspiration and role model on a trip. . . one that he could never have done without her help.
