Anna is a 15-year-old girl who loves to listen to music, go to school, take bubble baths, and play with her siblings. Art and PE are her favorite subjects in school. Her favorite thing to eat is chocolate ice cream, and she loves Taco Bell!
Anna was born at 29 weeks with spastic, quadriplegic Cerebral Palsy, intellectual disabilities, seizures, and cortical blindness. Her diagnoses affect her mobility and motor skills. She primarily uses a walker at home and is unable to walk upstairs. Anna’s bedroom is on the second floor of the family home. As she has grown, it has become more difficult for her caregivers to transport her up the stairs. To prevent the risk of injury to both Anna and her caregivers, the family requested assistance with a motorized stair lift.
The Love Fund partnered with the Greater Kansas City Community Foundation to provide the requested financial assistance for the customized lift. The stair lift will accommodate Anna through adulthood. Thank you Love Fund supporters for providing a gift that will keep Anna and her guardians safe long-term!
