Michael Ray has never heard his daughter Maddie say, "I love you," but he knows she does. "I kind of turned around for years and was like do you love daddy, hey do you love me?" he said. "And she would just smile, and that's how I knew." Maddie has down syndrome, and is non-verbal. After losing a son, Ray's search to find a new purpose led him right back home to his daughter. He wondered if Maddie's smile could do so much for him, what could a smile do for a random stranger? That's when he started Smile Project Louisville.
