Meet Ali!
Meet eighteen-year-old Alesia, Ali to her friends. Ali has Osteosarcoma. Seven years ago, doctors told her parents she had a 13% chance of surviving the 13 weeks of Chemo she was facing. During the seven years that passed, a determined Ali had 26 surgeries. Her latest in April, was a muscle lengthening, and tendon transfer. Ali primarily uses a wheelchair for mobility and access.
Ali is more than her diagnosis. She is a clever young woman who loves books. The smell of old books, the feel of the pages, and the weight of a good book in her hands. Ali loves books so much that she is working towards the goal of being a Librarian. She also loves to crochet. She crochets scarves and hats and amigurumi. She loves Anime and grabbing a meal at her local K Pot. Her best friend is her cockatoo – Tiki. Tiki will squawk her malcontent every time Ali leaves a room. Ali has taught her to whistle the theme song to The Mario Bros.
Ali needs a power wheelchair to improve her access and maneuverability. Please be her Sponsor!
