Meet Drecinia!
Drecinia is a twelve-year-old who was diagnosed with hereditary spastic paraplegia at age two. The condition Drecinia struggles with everyday does not allow her to be mobile without the assistance of a wheelchair and she is non-verbal, so she cannot speak without a communication device.
Drecinia is a music fan. Her current favorite type of music is Spanish; and the artist she most enjoys is Junior H. She also enjoys art, shopping at Burlington Coat Factory with her sister, Ciandra, and playing with her makeup collection in her spare time. Drecinia’s family describes her as loving, caring and sensitive.
Drecinia needs a new wheelchair since she is continuing to grow. Her current wheelchair is unable to assist her with changes of medical status such as loss of head, neck, trunk and abdominal control. A new wheelchair will also allow her to be transported to school, home and the community with proper positioning. Please consider sponsoring Drecinia today!
