Meet 7-year-old Lillian—affectionately known as Lily to everyone who loves her.
At the age of four, Lily was diagnosed with Ponto Cerebral Hypoplasia and Microcephaly. She is unable to walk and depends completely on her loving family for daily care. But despite her challenges, Lily’s spirit shines brightly. She is full of joy, curiosity, and a quiet strength that touches everyone around her.
Lily finds happiness in the little things. She adores Inside Out, especially the new DreamWorks spin-off, and spends hours captivated by her favorite interactive books. One of her favorite pastimes is watching basketball with her dad, cheering on the Orlando Magic and the Florida Gators. But what she loves most is being outside feeling the breeze, listening to the sounds of nature, and soaking in the magic of the world during trips to the park.
Though she is quiet and often content in her own world, Lily’s presence is powerful. Her gentle nature and bright smile have a way of making everything feel a little lighter, a little more hopeful. She inspires everyone who meets her with her resilience, her wonder, and her love of learning.
Thanks to the generosity of some very special sponsors, Lily received something important: a new booster car seat. She has outgrown her current one, and having the right seat is essential for her safety and comfort as she travels to doctor appointments, school, and home.
