Meet Sophie!
Meet 13-year-old Sophie! Sophie is a remarkable young lady who has a diagnosis of cerebral palsy. When she was about a year old, her parents noticed she wasn’t meeting her typical milestones. At age 4, she had to have a dorsal rhizotomy surgery and spent a month in the hospital. She is 100% dependent on others when it comes to mobility.
Sophie is a very gifted student, who excels in her studies. She went to Paris last year and learned to speak French on her own. She has a passion for creative writing and has even written film scripts. Her favorite TV show is Miraculous Lady Bug and she enjoys listening to indie-pop artists such as Coldplay and Post Malone. Sophie has many other talents, too, such as drawing and graphic design. Above all, she is an inspiration to many and a leader to all her peers!
Sophie is in need of a new manual wheelchair, as she has outgrown her previous chair. This new chair will provide her with the comfort and safety she requires. Please be her sponsor!
