Twins Ruby and Vivi entered the world at just 24 weeks, weighing a combined 2.8 pounds.

Though their developmental journeys have taken different paths, both have received the support they need here at St. David’s. Today, they’re thriving in our Early Childhood Education program, and their family has 
become a beloved presence at our Minnetonka location—so much so that staff affectionately refer to Ruby and Vivi as “the mayors of St. David’s.” 

Inseparable by nature, the twins have each benefitted from the individualized care they 
require—whether speech, occupational, or feeding therapy—or simply the space to grow into their own unique selves while still supporting one another as sisters. 

Their story reflects the heart of our mission: connecting paths and nurturing growth for children of all backgrounds and abilities, providing whatever support they need to thrive.
