Meet Vanessa!

 

 

 

Meet Vanesa, a loving and happy 14-year-old who enjoys spending time with her family, watching her favorite videos, and making every day a little sweeter! She loves the color pink, Barbie movies, listening to all kinds of music, and heading to the park. When it comes to food, pizza and McDonald’s are among her favorites, and she has a special love for ducks!

Vanesa has been diagnosed with GLUT1 deficiency syndrome and developmental delays. She can communicate using short phrases but has difficulty walking due to abnormalities in her gait. Despite these challenges, Vanesa has a cheerful personality and a love for being part of the activities around her.

Let’s help Vanesa keep moving and making memories!

Wheelchairs 4 Kids hopes to provide Vanesa with an adaptive tricycle that will give her more opportunities to enjoy outdoor adventures and participate in activities alongside her family.

According to her physical therapist, an adaptive tricycle would do much more than provide fun. Regular use would help strengthen her legs, improve coordination and motor planning, build endurance, and support cardiovascular health. It would also allow Vanesa to practice important therapeutic skills outside the clinic in a fun and meaningful way.

With your support, we can help Vanesa enjoy more family adventures, build strength, and experience the freedom and happiness that come with being on the move!
