Meet Braylen! She is 5 years old and loves making art through drawing and painting. She enjoys listening to artists like Katy Perry and Lady Gaga. Her mom describes her as sweet and funny-often times using her theatrical skills to entertain her family!
Braylen was diagnosed as an infant with Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) type 1 which is the most severe form of SMA. Things like holding up her head and sitting unsupported is difficult for Braylen and needs assistance.
Braylen is in need of a medical car seat to better secure her body while in the car that common car seats do not provide. As Braylen gets older, she cannot transition to a booster seat because it wouldn’t give her any support and wouldn’t be safe during car rides. Thank you to the Knights of Columbus for sponsoring Braylen and making car rides safe and comfortable!
