Meet Smehan!
Meet 14-year-old Smehan. This young lady was not meeting typical milestones and was frequently falling. She was eventually diagnosed with a progressive disorder known as Spinal Muscular Atrophy Type III. She recently had to have surgery due to her scoliosis on her back. Despite her tribulations, she remains a kind and loving teenager to all she meets.
Smehan has a fun array of interests. She enjoys listening to a variety of music, such as Spanish singers to the hit alt-rock group 21 Pilots. In true teenage fashion, she likes to spend time on her phone, watching Netflix and napping! Smehan is also a thrill seeker and enjoys riding roller coasters at Universal Studios. She brightens everybody’s day with her silly sense of humor. Laughing can be hard in today’s world, and even harder for a child who has trials that would frustrate most adults. Smehan pushes forward with a smile and the brave determination of a hero!
Smehan needs a new manual wheelchair, as she has grown out of her current chair. The chair will provide her with proper support and independent mobility. Please be her sponsor!
