Meet Carli!
Carli is a resilient and vibrant 9-year-old who lights up every room she enters with her loving heart and unshakable spirit. She enjoys expressing herself through art and music and loves making bracelets while watching her favorite shows like Victorious—especially because, like her, the characters each shine in their own unique way. Whether she’s singing along to Gracie Abrams, reading graphic novels, or cuddling up with her goldendoodle Maddie (who shares her birthday!), Carli finds joy in every moment.
Diagnosed with cerebral palsy as a baby, Carli has spent much of her life in therapy and hospitals—but never lets that define her. She recently underwent muscle release surgery that dramatically improved her mobility, and she continues to show incredible strength as she works to overcome everyday challenges. Though simple tasks like dressing and tying her shoes are still difficult, Carli pushes through with determination and a smile.
Carli’s family describes her as resilient, strong, and full of love—and it shows in everything she does. After spending two months in the hospital post-surgery, Carli never lost her spirit. What she needs now is a roll-in shower to make daily routines safer and more comfortable. Let’s help give this amazing girl the dignity, ease, and independence she truly deserves!
