HELP EMILY AND HER TRIKEDREAM

Donation protected


Emily was born at 36 weeks August 1, 2010 with grade IV hydrocephalus....We were initially told by a group of six doctors not to expect much "IF" Emily survived at all and if she did not to expect much...basically saying she'd be in a limp rag...
She had a shunt placed at four months of age....revised at 23 months of age...perscription eye wear at three months...and even though we knew it....she was officially diagnosed with cerebral palsy at 17 months...
She was fitted for her first set of AFO's at 15 months....Emily has low vision and is non-verbal

We would really like to get Emily this bike. This is a special bike that is made for children like Emily. It has special features to make riding possible for her. With the help of this bike, not only will Emily be able to build muscles and improve balance, but it will give her a level of independence and confidence that she could not get without it. These bikes are not covered in medical plans, and our family struggles with having to pay for medications and therapies. Without help, this bike will only be a dream. Emily will soon outgrow the small trike she has been using. We are hoping to raise enough to buy the bike before she is left with this mobility. Every dollar counts, no amount is too small! Thank you in advance for your help!
