                       TRIBUTE TO SHERADIA LINTON

 Mr. DAINES. Mr. President, today I wish to recognize Sheradia 
Linton, a teenager from Havre, MT, who recently used her Make-A-Wish 
request to support an orphanage for special needs children in India. 
Sheradia and her family visited the Save the Children India School in 
Mumbai, where they delivered school supplies and nearly $3,000 that 
they had raised to the orphanage. During the trip, the family also met 
with Save Our Sisters girls, who had been rescued from sex trafficking, 
and participated in a sports day for the special-needs children at the 
orphanage.
  Sheradia has Burkitt Lymphoma, a form of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma that 
affects her immune cells. But despite all she has been through, she 
still has a desire to help others in need. I commend Sheradia and her 
family for their work to help and support the children at the Save the 
Children India School. Sheradia's heart for service and her dedication 
to improving the lives of others is something that all Montanans can be 
proud of.
