Meet Joanna!
Meet 18-year-old Joanna. Joanna was diagnosed at birth with spina bifida and shortly after with cerebral palsy. She has endured several surgeries, has scoliosis and presents left side weakness. She is unable to walk without assistance and is wheelchair bound.
Despite Joanna’s challenges, she remains an amazing team player who rarely complains. She is a fan of gospel and worship music and her favorite singer is Christian artist, Averly Morillo. Joanna is a “girly girl” who enjoys shopping, listening to music, and going on outings with her church youth group. She has a collection of bracelets and accessories, and can often be found with a bow in her hair! Joanna is described as “a light,” and she brings happiness to all she meets!
Joanna is in need of a lightweight manual wheelchair. She currently has a power wheelchair which is too heavy to be transported in and out of her vehicle. She is currently using a loaner manual chair, but it does not provide her with the proper support she requires. A new chair would make provide her with more accessibility in her community. Please be her sponsor!
