Meet Riley!
Meet 8-year-old Riley! Riley was diagnosed in utero with spina bifida. She has endured several spinal surgeries as well as a shunt surgery. When she was four-years-old, she went into kidney failure and had to have a feeding tube inserted. Thankfully, it has since been removed. While she has great upper body strength, and is able to transfer herself, she relies on a wheelchair to get around.
Riley is energetic and a ball of energy and spunk! She enjoys watching the popular Netflix show, “Wednesday,” and is a fan of the teen horror genre. Her favorite actress and singer is the star of “Megan,” Jenna Davis. Riley loves llamas, and although she does not have a pet llama, she can tell you many cool facts about them. In her spare time, you can find her at her local skate park, swimming, or playing dress-up with her Barbies. Riley’s outgoing personality makes her a bright light in a world that can often seem dim.
Riley is in need of a lightweight power wheelchair that will be easy to transport. She currently uses a manual wheelchair at school, but it has become increasingly difficult for her to wheel herself around with her books and supplies. Please be her sponsor!
