Meet Amelia — a bright light in a challenging world.

Amelia is a joyful, compassionate 10-year-old who faces life with courage and a radiant smile, despite living with Ataxia-telangiectasia — a rare genetic disorder that affects her coordination and movement.

Every day, Amelia shows us what true strength looks like. She doesn’t let her condition define her. Instead, she fills her world with curiosity, laughter, and love. She adores watching The Descendants and all the Disney Princess movies, and she shines in Math class with a mind as sharp as her heart is kind.

Story time is one of Amelia’s favorite parts of the day. Whether it’s Junie B. Jones or Fancy Nancy, she lights up when her parents read to her. And when she’s not immersed in books or movies, you’ll find her snuggled up with her beloved dog, Kona, and her cat, Ozzy.

Amelia has a love for life — and for steak! One of her favorite places to eat is Rucker Johns. On quieter days, she enjoys exploring the imaginative world of Roblox on her tablet, her spirit always curious and full of joy.

Amelia is truly an inspiration. She reminds us of the beauty in resilience and the power of a joyful heart.

Thanks to the incredible generosity of Pilgrim’s Pride Corporation, Amelia now has the manual wheelchair she so desperately needed. This gift will not only grow with her but will also allow her to get to school, attend her doctor appointments, and move around her home with greater comfort, independence, and safety. We are deeply grateful for the difference you have made in her life.
