Ketrina
is a 19 year old young lady who was diagnosed with Cerebral Palsy at
birth. She has been an advocate for herself and has personally looked
into funding for all the items she needs to make her life fulfilling.
Ketrina wanted a bicycle so that she could ride in her neighborhood
with her niece. Insurance would not cover the bike so she found us and
applied for funding. We were more than happy to purchase this purple
bike for her.. She told us that now she can race in the Empire State
Games like some of the other children. To show what an amazing young
lady she is, she enrolled herself in community college and set up transportation.
The service does not always show up on time, making her late for class
so she is researching funding to get a handicap accessible van for her
family! She is also an ambassador for children with special needs and
speaks up in Albany about rights for children with special needs! |
