Meet Roaa!
Meet 9-year-old Roaa. Roaa was born with a rare mitochondrial disorder. This affects her muscles, balance, vision and hearing, and has also caused her to have developmental delays. Roaa is non-verbal. She is able to walk, but has balance issues and falls down often when not supported
Despite Roaa’s challenges, she remains a playful and happy little girl. She loves going to the playground, as it brings her much joy! Anytime Roaa is outdoors enjoying the fresh air, is when she is happiest. Roaa likes listening to children’s songs and watching Mooseclumps on YouTube, as they always cheer her up and make her smile! She has a collection of squishies she takes everywhere with her. Roaa enjoys the company of others and is always smiling.
Roaa needs a bathroom modification. Her shower door broke and cracked into hundreds of pieces and it is currently unsafe for her to enter her shower. Due to her balance issues, she needs assistance when showering, so she won’t slip and fall. Please consider being her sponsor so she will be able to safely cleanse herself.
