    ge son, Luke, is currently in the care of Hospice. Cedanor had been tirelessly working to get visas for Luke’s grandparents to come from Haiti to visit. The family was finding delay after delay with paperwork, fees, and many frustrations. I am so pleased that my office was able to get involved and assist them with the visa process. And just days ago, Luke’s grandparents made it to Kansas City for a joyous reunion.
